DJHL Season Ends, Renegades Claim Third Club Title
CBR Minor Hockey claimed its third club title of the season in the DJHL on Thursday thanks to a 5-1 win over the Northeast Eagles by its Bantam B squad in the third and deciding game of their Championship Series. The first place Renegades rebounded from a 2-1 opening game loss to the Eagles by delivering a convincing 8-0 win in game 2. In the Bantam B Bronze Series, the Mount Pearl Blades combined an opening game 3-1 victory over the St. John's Caps with a 2-2 draw on Thursday night at the Glacier to claim the series 5-3 on aggregate. In Peewee B, Renegades took a 2-1 lead into game 2 of their total goal series against Northeast Eagles and followed up with a 2-0 win at Paradise Arena on Thursday night to capture the Bronze. Ethan Kelly earned the shut-out between the pipes for the Renegades. Thank you to one and all from DJHL Hockey News for a memorable season. The six-week 2016 Play-off Season featured many exciting, special moments and close competition. Our mixed format of pooled and club based teams is a demanding one organizationally, but the parity that results makes it all worthwhile. As Don Johnson would always say, "Pardon me if I'm wrong, but isn't it all about the kids?" On behalf of President Mark Noseworthy, Steve Power, myself and the League Operating Committee, good luck to all DJHL teams in upcoming provincial play. Tim Power
