South Muskoka Hammond Transport Peewee AE Bears hosted the MPS AE playdowns over the weekend in tournament action. The Bears were defeated by Muskoka Rock and Huntsville Otters on Saturday but came away with an overtime win on Sunday vs. Haliburton Highland Storm....

Game 3 and going in with 2 losses each both teams were hungry for a win. Coming on strong in the 1st half of the game, Highland Storm pulled ahead with a 4-0 lead. The Bears did not give up... with 2 minutes left in the 2nd period Cameron G. snuck one by the Storm netminder with a wrap-around to get on the scoreboard and end the period down 4-1.
The 3rd period was all Bears... minutes into the 3rd Noah H. slammed the puck past the Storm netminder, a one-timer with a heads up pass from behind the net by Cameron C. to make it a 4-2 game. At the 1/2 way mark of the 3rd on a breakaway Noah H. found the back of the net to bring the Bears within a goal. Solid defense and aggressive backchecking kept the puck in the Highland Storm end for most of the 3rd period. With 3 minutes remaining it was Daniel D. rushing up the ice with some slick moves to bury the puck and tie the game 4-4.
Overtime play with 4 on 4 was edge of the seat hockey for the fans.  It was teamwork and passing that made the final play of the game so sweet... Cameron G. with a pass to Scott S, who tipped it ahead to Cyrus B. Cyrus B. blasted by the Storm defense and found the back of the net for the overtime winning goal. Final score 5-4 Bears. Goaltender for the Bears, Cameron C. battled hard between the pipes all 3 games, never giving up.
