CHAMPIONS!
It was a night that will be remembered for a long time as the Saugeen Shores Winterhawks captured the WOAA Senior AA championships Friday night in Southampton by a 6-4 score over the Tavistock Royals. Bryan Kazarian scored four goals en route to victory in Game 5 with Ryan Dudgeon and Ryan Fry collecting the other goals. Pandemonium is the only word to describe the roar of the crowd as Kazarian, tied it, clinched it and then added the empty net insurance. While #19 did most of the scoring, contributions came from all corners and everyone deservedly got their chance to hoist and sip from the championship cup after team Captain Greg Thede received it and hoisted it toward the rafters. This group of players, played with so much pride, heart, determination and teamwork defying the naysayers who questioned our grit.It made the champagne taste that much sweeter.It has been an incredible, unforgettable season for the Winterhawks and we thank our fans, Founders, sponsors and everyone else who helped us along the way. We couldn’t have done it with out you and we will be back next season as the defending champions.WAY TO GO HAWKS!For more great Winterhawks photos from the Championship game (and others) by Janet Dawson, please check out:www.portelgingame.photoreflect.com
