www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, January 26, 2012 · 26 Large crowd would benefit charity Continued from page 25 game. The Blades have been on a roll in the last month, notching seven wins in nine starts and losing the other two games in overtime. The team's goaltending and defence rank near the top of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, the penalty kill is No.1 in the loop, and the team is beginning to gel with playoffs inching closer. "The systems we have been teaching are coming together. The boys are connecting in the room the way good teams have to," said Coccimiglio. The Blades have been OJHL finalists each of the last four years (a league record) and have won the championship twice. Last Friday, the Blades earned a 3-0 win over the North Division-leading Newmarket Hurricanes, who were ranked ninth in Canada. The Blades are looking for a big crowd for tomorrow's Pink-in-the-Rink game, as proceeds go to breast cancer research and a big gate will help the charity. Admission is $12 for adults, $8 for seniors and students and $5 for children 12 and under. Children 12 and under wearing MOHA or Oakville Hornets jerseys are admitted at no charge. IN THE PINK: Tyke 3 Rangers reach tourney final Despite having some key players out of the lineup (several due to the flu), the Oakville tyke 3 Rangers still managed to reach the championship game of the recent North Toronto Hockey Select Christmas Tournament. The Rangers downed North Toronto 9-2, West Hill 10-2, Port Credit 7-0 and George Bell 8-0 in opening-round play, then blanked George Bell Navy 5-0 in the semis before falling 8-6 to the West Hill Golden Hawks in the final. Members of the Rangers are Quaid Beaudry, Josh Beaupre, Brendon Bloom, Jacob Crisp, Jake Fisher, Brayden Gillespie, Ayden Kenalty, Nicholas Lardis, Hudson Ligon, Logan McDermott, Luke Misa, Bronson Ride, Calum Ritchie, Jack Snelgrove, Cole Stevens, William Taylor and Mason Zebeski. Duane Snelgrove, Bob Zebeski, Bryan McDermott, Michael Bloom and Brendan Kenalty coach the team. The Oakville Blades will host their fourth annual Pink in the Rink fundraiser game in support of breast cancer research Friday at Sixteen Mile Sports Complex.
