CONGRATULATIONS Atom 2 Blue Lightning, CITY CHAMPIONS at today's MOGHL Championship Day. After an exciting tie game and overtime, it went to a shootout, with Emerson scoring the only goal and Amanda in net, turning away all three Nepean shooters. Congratulations as well to Novice 1, SILVER MEDALLISTS who had an awesome season and a great final game.
You have all made the OGHA very proud!

Congratulations to Novice #1 and Atom #2 for advancing to the House League City Championships this coming weekend! We wish you the best of luck on Saturday morning at 10am & 11am at the Sensplex .
Congratulations also goes out to several other teams who had great playoff runs and almost made the finals: Novice #2, Peewee #2 and Bantam #1 were all tied for 2nd place in their divisions, only losing a spot in the Championship finals due to tie-breakers.
Way to go girls and coaches!

WOW! Congratulations to all the Midget B players, team staff, and parents for a fantastic weekend and a championship celebration in Durham!

The weekend started with a long drive and an encouraging come-from-behind 4-3 win against Oshawa. The girls had a small setback later that day, losing 2-0 to the host Durham team in their second and final round-robin game but knew that they could beat them if they got another shot.

Saturday's thrilling quarter-final match was a 2-1 nailbiter of a win versus Napanee in a shootout. Esther Priddle scored the winning shootout goal while goalie Erika Leu stopped all three shooters she faced. Saturday evening's semi-final was a rough and tumble affair against a rested Aurora team who had won a bye to the semis. However our girls dug deep, scored two early goals and hung on for a thrilling 3-2 victory. Smiles all around and a trip to Sunday's final followed!

As predicted our intrepid Ice faced the host Durham team in the final game. This time the script was re-written and Ottawa once again built an early 2-0 lead. It was an intense back-and-forth struggle after that with Durham getting one goal back late in the 2nd period. However, in the game's final minute with their goalie pulled and Durham pressuring our end, co-captain Anitta Martignago dug the puck out of a scrum along the boards, headed up ice and sealed the victory with an empty-net goal.

Fantastic job, ladies! Your hard work all year has finally been rewarded! More and better pictures to follow :-)

The OGHA is proud to announce the arrival of the new OTTAWA ICE competitive jerseys.

A BIG THANK YOU to Bryon Capello, our competitive convenor; because of all his hard work we have these fabulous new jerseys. Thank you as well to Steve Leu & Dean Karakasis for all the time and effort they put into this project.

Managers are asked to please check the MOGHL Goalline website and compare their posted schedule to the one on this site and notify the ice scheduler immediately house.ice@ogha.info if there are any differences.

• Bantam 3 Crunch won their division by beating the host team in the Gold Medal game.
• Peewee 2 Arctic (who went 0-20 in the regular season) won the semi-finals vs. Kanata in their house after 4 rounds of shootouts. Great goals by Ella, Margeaux, and the game winner by Ryley, coupled with outstanding goalie performance by Caitlin, allowed the Arctic wind to blow into the finals! Huge parental cheering, and high spirits, were just not enough on the huge ice surface. The Arctic may have come second in the finals but came first in everyone's hearts!
