K of C survives battle with thunder and dynamite

The Knights of Columbus Novice Major hockey team from the Soo Pee Wee Hockey League emerged victorious in tournament action on the weekend in London.

The locals survived a taste of dynamite as the Knights of Columbus defeated the Meadowvale Dynamite 2-1 in the final to capture Novice Red Division Championship at the London Minor Hockey Association Annual Thunder Hockey Tournament.

With Meadowvale taking a 1-0 lead in the first period, the locals were forced to rally with a goal in the second period and the game winner in the third, as a shot from the side of the net deflected of a Dynamite player’s stick and into the net.

The win was a mark of revenge for the locals who took an earlier blast of Dynamite with a 5-1 loss to Meadowvale.

In other tournament games, the Knight’s of Columbus blanked the Oakville Wings 5-0 and the Mt. Clemens Sabrecats 6-0 before shutting out the Applewood Icebreakers 3-0 in the playoff semi-final.
