The Peewee Frontenacs had
another exciting tournament in Toronto this past weekend by making it to the

started up on Friday with the locals taking on the Sudbury Wolves where things
started slowly until the boys exploded for 4 goals in the third to take the
opening game 6-1.
Ben Albright lead the fronts with 1 goal and 3 assists while other scorers were Kevin Fitzgerald, Blake Aylesworth, Jacob McLellan, Grayson Ebrahim and Wyatt Ottenhof. Helpers went to Aylesworth (2), Ben Campeau (2), Jackson Barnes, Lane Morency, Boden White, Andrew Botting and McLellan. Brady Spry went the distance in the cage for the W. Game 2 had the boys up against the Toronto Nationals in a back and forth contest with the Fronts scoring the last marker for the 4-3 win. Nolan Lalonde was up next between the pipes while the snipers were Nathan Woods, Albright, Botting and White with the winner. Assists went to Morency, Ebrahim, Fitzgerald, Campeau and Ottenhof. Saturday morning had the boys up against the host Vaughan Kings which ended up being the first of two battles.

Morency had 2 assists, while others went to Campeau, Ottenhof, Albright and Woods. Lalonde was back in net for the win. The Semi Sunday match up had the circle K’s back up against the Kings where 5 unanswered goals proved too much and the locals fell with another 5-2 loss. Lalonde and Spry split net duties with Campeau and Ian MacDonnell scoring the goals. The lone assist went to Ottenhof.
