Rust-Oleum Minor Midget AE Petes advance to OMHA Finals
After sweeping Pickering in the OMHA 1/4 finals the Rust-Oleum Minor Midget AE Petes moved on to face the Loyalist Jets in the semi's for what was anticipated to be a long, tight, hard fought series.  These teams were separated by 1 point at the end of the regular season with Peterborough edging Loyalist with a last second goal, in the last regular season game to gain home ice throughout the playoffs. 




Home ice proved to be clutch as Peterborough was well prepared and dominated game 1 for a convincing 5-1 win. Off to game 2 on the road, Peterborough had to weather the storm early on by a motivated Loyalist team to find themselves tied 1-1 late in the 3rd, where they were able to dig deep and get a pretty game winner for a 2-1 final. 

Game 3 was tense, and a bit sloppy with both teams trading goals and finding themselves tied 3-3 with under 4 minutes to go and Loyalist's season on the line. The Pete's turned it up a notch and generated chance after chance until they finally buried it with under a minute to go and clinch the series.

Peterborough currently awaits the winner of Guelph vs Brampton and anticipate starting up the finals mid-month. Hoping you can come cheer us on!
