2016 OBHA WINTER PROVINCIALS

All Ontario Cup - April Fools Tournament

 

This past weekend, London played host to the 2016 OBHA Winter Provincials and All Ontario Cup April Tournament which saw 20 teams take to the floor, spread out over 3 divisions. The weather was warm and the competition was fierce as some of Ontario’s finest ball hockey players battled for the title of Champion.

 

Men’s D Division Recap

The Rec Division featured 2 strong teams, the Healthy Scratches (3-0-0) and the Niagara Warriors (2-1-0). The two squads pretty much dominated the division on the backs of Taylor Dobbin and Nathan Billard for Niagara and Steve Diluca and John Dungey for the Healthy Scratches.

 

The first semi-final saw the Healthy Scratches rout the Vicious Alpacas, 7-1. Steve Diluca opened up the scoring 1:34 in to the first and ended the scoring with his second goal of the night, 5:45 in to the third. Jeremy Thebauld scored the lone goal for the Alpacas and the game featured no penalties.

The second semi-final had the Rebels facing off against the Niagara Warriors in what should have been an easy victory for the Warriors. The (1-1-1) Rebels, however, had other plans as they beat Niagara 3-2 and earned their spot in the final. It was a full team effort for the Rebels as they got goals from 3 different players.

 

In the Final, the Healthy Scratches opened the scoring near the end of the first and the rest of the game featured good goaltending and stellar defense before the Scratches finally put it away midway through the third, winning 3-0. The undefeated Healthy Scratched are 2016 Tournament Champions thanks to a pair of goals from Isaac Waugh.
