The Seafair A1 Islanders dominated from start to finish to capture the 44th annual Coca-Cola Classic International Pee Wee Hockey Tournament.
The eight team event featured entries from Alberta, BC, and the United States. Each game was a full 60-minute stop time with ice scrapes between periods.
The Islanders recorded five straight wins and outscored their opponents 47-9 in the process. The impressive performance was capped by a 10-0 win over Langley in the championship game.
Seafair went 3-0 in round-robin play with wins over Spokane (12-2), Langley (12-3) and Vernon (8-2). A spot in the final was clinched after a 5-2 triumph over Chilliwack.
The attack was well balanced as 13 different players managed to score and every player recorded a point — making it a complete team effort.
The Islanders were also named the Most Sportsmanlike Team for being the least penalized on the ice and the most respectful off of it. There were many compliments from tournament officials, parents and other teams of how well the players represented themselves.
The team includes: Iain Morris, Tyler Hortstmann, Noah Boroditsky, Trey Taylor, Mattias Hohlweg, Koen MacInnes, Ethan Strik, Carson Bigras, Logan Nelson, Kevin Tan, Jordan Si, Michael Abgrall, Vincent Thrum, Brice Kemp, Carson Kostner, Trevor Lau and Bradley Araki-Young.
The head coach is Shane Hohlweg with assistants Merv Taylor and Bob Delorme.
