For the second consecutive year, TNT Midget AA have advanced to the OMHA Final Four.
TNT made short work of a very good Aurora Tigers team posting a second round series win 3-0.
TNT would advance with wins of 3-1, 3-2 and 4-1.
The Midgets continue to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to team defense. So far throughout the playoffs, TNT has allowed only 10 goals in 8 playoff games, for a very shiny 1.25 goals against average.
Through 8 games, the Tornado Midgets have posted special teams numbers of 88% on the penalty kill and 20% success on the powerplay. TNT currently carries a playoff win - loss - tie record of 6-1-1.
The TNT Midgets will spend the next week in preparation mode as they await the winner of the Ajax v Pickering series.
The last local Midget team (Alliston /TNT) to win an OMHA title occurred in 1977. Thirty-eight years ago, the Alliston Blades defeated the Listowel Cyclones to capture the OMHA Championship.
TNT head coach, Scott Hutchinson, was in the stands as a 9 year-old watching his father Terry help lead that team to victory. The 2015 Midgets are half way to reaching their goal.
