Minor PeeWee, 2019, U11 (Guelph Minor Hockey Association)

Points: Boon (Bunnaman), Lodder, Stone (Lodder,Dixon) PIMs: Redford (HKG), Dixon (HC 4 min)

The Gryphons faced the Willowdale Blackhawks in the final, coming away with the 3-1 win and 17 gold medals. The boys represented Guelph well with good sportsmanship and respect on and off the ice. Amazing job, Gryphons!

The blowouts are never easy to watch but the Gryphons showed respect for their opponents playing the game and leaving the ice with little fanfare.   Congratulations to Nic Tyas on his first career hat trick! We were cellying inside for you!

What a weekend for these Gryphons! With a record of 3-0-2 going into the finals, it was obvious how hard these boys were working together as a team to reach the final game. Both goalies Litchfield and Lambert were outstanding throughout the tournament and their team supported them with every pass, pinch, back check and shot. You should be very proud of yourselves, Gryphons! #powerplaytournament
