The Wasaga Stars held their Home Tournament on January 31st, hosting the Schomberg Red Wings, the Nobleking Knights and the Elmvale Coyotes.

The first game was against the Schomberg Red Wings, and the Stars had a very strong showing keeping each period close.

The second game was against a strong Nobleking Knights team.  Centre Mateo scored the lone goal for the Stars on a great effort.

The Silver final was also against Nobleking, but the Stars came out flying and gave the opposition all they could handle in a narrow victory for the Knights, in one of their best games of the season.

Forwards Mateo, Lukas, Logan and Jack were a force in the offensive zone all tournament, putting pucks on the net and breaking through the opposition defence.  Lukas was awarded the Player of the Game honours in Game 2.  Forwards Lexus, Nick, Jacob and Isabella were strong both offensively and defensively, hold the puck in the offensive end, and clearing pucks in the defensive end.  Forward Emma turned on the jets to complete an impressive backcheck and catch an opposing forward who thought he had an easy breakaway opportunity.

Defencemen Chyna, Isabella and Andrew faced down opposing forwards with excellent positioning and hard work all torunament.  Defenceman Damien took a hard check in a game to clear the puck out of the defensive zone.  Kaleb Orlowski played out of position at defence and put in a strong effort.

Goaltender Jackson had solids games including several excellent glove saves that wowed the opposing coaches.  Jackson took Player of the Game honours in Game 1 and the Silver Final, which was awarded by the opposing team.
