CANADORE ROARS TO VICTORY AT FLEMING

The Canadore Panthers knew they needed to win the Fleming-Lindsay Invitational to qualify for the 2011 Challenge Cup.  Mission accomplished.


The Panthers posted a perfect 4-0 record, allowing only two goals the entire tournament, to win the title.   They opened the tournament with a 3-0 win over Brockville and a lopsided 6-1 win over Georgian-Barrie to gain a semi-final berth against George Brown.   The Huskies and Panthers matched up well early on before a couple of goals gave the Panthers a lead they would not relinquish enroute to a 4-0 win and a final showdown against Trent.

Trent was equally impressive in their run to the finals, with wins over Centennial and St. Lawrence-Cornwall, followed by a semi-final victory over Sheridan. The final was a tough contest between the Excalibur and Panthers, with Canadore eventually finishing on top by a close 2-1 score.

So, with one tournament left before the Challenge Cup,  eight teams have booked their ticket,  leaving 4 spots up for grabs.  The teams and draw for the Challenge Cup will be posted by March 15th.
