The SD2 Sharks trimmed the SD1 Energy 1-0 to become Midget Division champions of South Delta Minor Hockey’s Party In Da House Tournament.
The final game of championship Sunday proved to be a highly entertaining and hard-fought battle, featuring terrific goaltending at both ends of the rink from the Sharks’ Nick Worsnop and the Energy’s Kurtis Thompson.
A superb unassisted goal in the opening period by Mathew Olsen was the difference on the night.
Of course the Sharks couldn’t have done it without the support of the entire team which also includes: Curtis Robinson, Thomas Buckley, Ole Hatlelid, Kyle Moorehead, Arnon Hassakan, Austin Herauf, Kieran Tan, Connor Bower, Brad Lebus, Dylan Skujins, Josh Dubois, Jamil Walji, Wyatt Bates, Ryan Pugh, Adam Husdon and proud coaches Brad Herauf, Paul Skujins, Graham Worsnop and George Bates.
The team also received the Sportsmanship Award for lowest number of penalty minutes which includes a gift certificate donated by the Boot and Sombrero restaurant in Ladner.
The Sharks look forward to the league playoffs and representing SDMHA in the Delta Cup Challenge at the end of the season. They also recognize the effort of the two tournament participants in their divisions, including the Angry Mob, and the dedication of their coaches.
