Kevin McKay Memorial Tyke Tournament
On December 28th, 2013 the Tykes took to the ice for the 2nd Annual Tournament in memory of Pte Kevin McKay who was killed by an IED in Afghanistan in 2010, just 2 days before his the end of his tour of duty.


The tournament started with Kevin's dad, Fred McKay, dropping the ceremonial first puck.

With the game underway against rivals Oro Black, Noah W. led the attack with 2 goals.  The first coming off an end to end rush in the first period.  Noah W. repeated the performance in the 3rd period that earned him his second goal of the game.  Our goalie Addison received a well deserved player of the game presented by Fred McKay.  A goalie in the making!
Final Score: Oro Black 5 - Oro White 2

In game 2 Charlie showed us how it's done when he grabbed the puck and slammed it into the net!  Noah W. scored our second goal with a nice deek around an Ennismore player.  With 2 posts and few more "how did that not go in?" plays the team came up short.  Charlie received player of the game.
Final Score: Ennismore 3 - Oro White 2

In a thrilling third game against Creemore, Noah W. lead the team scoring with a hat trick!  Additional goals from Charlie and Parker helped the team to a tie.  Honourable mention goes out to Dylan who put forth a great effort on the tying goal and our goalie Addison. With only 10 seconds left Addison saved the tie with another amazing stop!  5 Minutes of back and forth play in overtime didn't solve anything so the young team went to the shootout.  Although the Oro shooters were unable to solve the Creemore goalie it was a great game.  From the first drop of the puck to the final buzzer our team never gave up!
Final Score: Creemore 6 - Oro White 5 (SO)

Great effort boys and girls!  You are playing great!
