Midget AE White Wins Philadelphia Fall Classic, News (Ajax Minor Hockey Association)

Congratulations to the Midget AE White team on winning Gold at the Philadelphia Fall Classic this past weekend. After a long day of travel, the boys were ready for the challenging competition against some formidable American teams. During the first game against Connecticut's CT Stars Blue, Ajax took a commanding lead then struggled to maintain it, but won the game 6-4. Excellent teamwork both offensively and defensively lead Ajax to win the second game 7-0 over the Connecticut's CT Stars Maroon. In the third game, after being dominated in the first period by the Littleton Hawks from Colorado, the Ajax Knights dug deep and showed their ferocious tenacity for not giving up and tied the Hawks 1-1.

The final round robin game was again action packed leading Ajax to a 4-2 victory against Connecticut's Navy Rams resulting in Ajax finishing the round robin in first place.  With memories of game one still fresh in their heads, the Ajax Knights met Connecticut's CT Stars Blue once again, for what can only be described as a nail-bitter final game. Both teams stepped up their level of play with end to end action, so at the end of the second period the score was tied 1-1. In true Ajax fashion and with gritty determination, the Knights scored 3 goals in the third to take the Tournament Championship with a game final score of 4-1, proudly bringing home the Gold and Canadian pride. Congratulations to the team, coaching staff and parents.  Go Knights Go!!!!!
