Bantam AA Clippers Win 30th Annual Sudbury 80's Tournament
The Bantam AA Clippers traveled to Sudbury Friday October 14th to compete in the 30th Annual Sudbury 80's Tournament.

Their first game took place late Friday night against the Timmins North Stars.  A 3-2 win was the result for Andrew Rideout in net with Jordan  Romualdo potting 2 goals and Michael Fang with a single.  Brodie Black, Matt Yuen and Nolan Ross got helpers.

Saturday's first game saw a tough match with the host Sudbury Wolves and we dropped a close one 3-2 with Ben Veitch and Trevor Leighton banging in a goal each with Josh Henneberry in Net. Matty Gordon added 2 assists and Ashton Hughes a single assist.

The loss put the Clippers in a position to have to win to advance to Sunday's Title game.  Coach Paul Johnson felt we could match up against the North Bay Trappers well if we played our game and boy did we ever.  It was a hard checking, fast affair that showed Clippers winning 10-3 when the smoke cleared.  Andrew Rideout in net with the win.  Matty Gordon lead all scorers with 4 goals, followed by a Nolan Ross hat trick and singles to Ben Veitch, Michael Fang and Jared Henriques.  Assists came from Michael Fang (2), Jordan Romualdo (2), Brodie Black (2), Reilly Barker, Ashton Hughes, Liam Vogan, Trevor Leighton and Matt Yuen each with one.

Moving to the Championship game on Sunday against the Sudbury Wolves.  Josh Henneberry was in net in this very close game.  At the end of regulation time it was 2-2 after Matty Gordon and Brodie Black scored and Jared Henriques, Nolan Ross and Ben Veitch assisted.  

Overtime started with 4-4 and ended 56 seconds later with Liam Vogan feeding a rushing Jake Rose who stick handled through 3 Wolves to backhand the winner in.

Injured players Marcus Roest and Rhys Patterson attended to cheer on their team. Great Tournament Clippers!
