Midget MD Orange, 2012-2013, BB (London Bandits)

Just before our game vs Hamilton last night, the team awards were given out. These awards were voted on by the players. Special mention to players Brendan, Willie and Drew whose late addition to the team helped greatly with Willie's excellent play and leadership, Drew's positive attitude and love of the game and Brendan's never give up attitude. Also, huge thanks go out to our AP's Mitch, Andrew, Ben, Eric, Trevor, Blaise, Trenton and Adam who helped during difficult parts of our season. Very special thanks to Izach, our "Director of Player Personnel" who actively recruited players and AP's to make our team better.  Thanks to Nate who looked after the facebook group and posted some great video. Big thanks to Jason McCulloch and Steve Laplante  who helped me stay focused as well. Read More

It was just not meant to be. Losing 3 - 1 to a determined North team denies us the MD West Championship but does put us into the Midget Tier II Championships I Stratford. Our opponents there will be Oakridge Aeros, Kitchener Rangers Blue and Hamilton Hub Spitfires. Special mention again to Kyle who was superb in net yet again. Provincials start on April 12. 

Great goaltending at both ends as game ends tied. Bandits live to play another game. We will have to win 2 games in a row to win the title. Kyle and Willie had outstanding games as did Nathan with late game heroics. Good 2 way hockey with few penalties. Thurs at Stronach for game 3.

3 goals against in the first period decided the game. North just seemed to want the win more that us. Good effort in the third but it was too little too late. Game 2 Mon night at Nichols. Thanks to the APs who played in the losing cause. Coach Phill
