It was indeed a ding-dong game at Victoria Village Arena on Bermondsey Road as the Leaside Flames Peewee Golds beat Ted Reeve Tornadoes 6-3 to win their division in the North York Hockey League. The Flames dominated the game and it wasn’t until the third period that the Tornadoes got on the scoreboard. The Ted Reeves had persistence and fired a trio of shots past a tiring Flames goalkeeper Ian McDonald. He had held them scoreless that far. The team of Jack Kiely and William Verkuyl scored three times for the Flames. Kiely took the top spot for the first and fifth Flames markers with Verkuyl in for the assist. They switched on the sixth goal with Verkuyl potting the puck with an assist from Kiely. Kiely also scored the game’s first goal with an assist from Griffin Lind. Nigel Vickery and Alex Powter each scored single-handed goals,  Vickery in the first with 44 seconds left and Powter at 21 seconds of the second period.
