Oakridge Aeros U12BB Capture the Boston Pizza Cup in Thrilling Fashion!
The Oakridge Aeros had an incredible run at the Boston Pizza Cup Minor Tournament in St. Thomas this past weekend. Despite a strong effort in their opening game, the team fell 5–2 to Sarnia. They bounced back in dominant fashion, reeling off three straight wins—5–0 over Newmarket, 8–1 against St. Thomas, and a hard-fought 2–0 shutout against South Simcoe to secure a spot in the Championship final.
The Championship Game on Sunday was against the number one seed Sarnia. After three periods of intense back-and-forth hockey, the score was locked at 2–2. A five-minute overtime couldn’t settle it, sending the game to a shootout. Round after round, the tension mounted—until the sixth Oakridge shooter stepped up and buried the winner.
A clutch save at the other end sealed the victory, and the Oakridge Aeros erupted in celebration as the Boston Pizza Cup Champions! Four wins, one unforgettable finish, and a team effort that will be remembered for years. Congratulations to the players, coaches, and families for an amazing tournament!
