The two teams took first and second place in the standings and are the two best teams in the league by far. Playoffs will deter- mine who moves on to WOSAA. St. Anne's played two sea- son games against St. Mike's; one on January 9 and one recently on February 15. On January 9, St. Anne's beat St. Mike's 2-1. This was a huge accomplishment as it vas St. N1ike's first season loss in eight years. Their second season game was last Wednesday. St. Mike's beat St. Anne's 0-1 on a power play with 40 sec- onds left in the game. How- ever even though they each beat each other once, St. Anne's still came out as first - due to points scored in other games. Six years ago, St. Anne's was the worst team in their league. At that point, they got a new coach, St. Anne's teacher Steve Geiger. They accumulated talent and committed players, and have now overthrown the long- standing best team in the league - in the regular sea- son, at least. The real fight will hap- pen at playoffs on March 1 in Clinton. Semi-finals will be held in the morn- ing with St. Anne's playing the fourth -place team at 9 a.m. in Clinton. St. Mike's will play the second -place team in Blyth at the same time. Then at 1 p.m. that day, the final game will be held in Clinton. Mean- while, the third and fourth teams will play for bronze in Blyth. The winner of the Clinton game will move on to L»-ivfrig FOLLOW THE SIGNS TO YOUR NEXT CAR Driving.ca is your trusted companion for the latest news, reviews and buying tools you need to find your vehicle of choice.

Geiger believes St. Anne's is one of the best teams in Ontario, and if they make it to WOSAA, he's confident they could move on from there. They have never made it to WOSAA as only one team from Huron Perth can go, and that is always St. Mike's. Now, however, they are close to their shot.
