Games kicked off on Friday, with the Midget As taking to the ice against the Cobden Muskrat Voyageurs. It was a fast-paced game between two well matched teams.
The Lions started the scoring in the first period with a goal from Carson Rusenstrom on a pass from Evan Atkinson.
The Muskrat team took the lead in the second period until Connor Gilpin ripped one past the net minder to tie it up once again.
Going into the third period, the fans were on their feet. With around a minute left, Rusenstrom scored on a pass from Nick Curley putting the Lions in the lead with a score of 3-2. Too bad for the Lions, with a couple of seconds left in the game, the Muskrats were able to slide one in ending the game in a tie. Player of the game went to Rusenstrom.
On Saturday, in game two of the round robin portion, the Midget A Lions met up with the Hull Senateurs. Once again, the game kept the fans on their feet. Both teams were evenly matched with action moving up and down the ice.
