(photo/submitted) The South Huron Major Midget claimed the International Silver Stick title with a 3-2 win in the final over Alymer on the weekend. The Midgets completed the tournament with a perfect undefeated record by defeating Mt. Brydges 3-1, Huntsville, Alabama 7-2 and Port Dover 5-1 before win- ning the final. The team consists of players Tim Burtch, Kyle Masse, Justin Reid, Jared Green, Brett Oud, Kurtis VanOsch, Mike Anstett, Adam Johns, Adam Lagrou, Matt Kerslake, Hayden Cann, Kyle Schmidt, Marc Denomme, Steve Morgan, Colton Kerslake, Scott Overholt, Jarrett Johns, Shayne Mudge, Blair Parson, Gavin Harburn, Justin Anstett, and coaches Curtis Pfaff, Andy Sedlak and Rob Oud. Mudge said while the team went undefeated, there wasn't an easy game among them espe- cially against Hunstville, Alabama which he said was a fast, hard hitting team. South Huron was never behind in any of the games and Mudge said the players did everything the coaches asked over the weekend. Going in Mudge said the team thought they had a good chance and with the title are well on its way towards a dream season after winning the Bill Batten tournament as well as the regional and international silver stick titles. The team now needs only an OMHA title to complete a sweep which has never been done before, said Mudge. One of the bigest hon- ours of the tournament, according to Mudge was South Huron being picked as the most sportsmanlike and skilled out of the 92 teams competing. South Huron goalie Kyle Masse was named the top goalie of the tournament while Kurtis Van Osch was the top goal scorer and MVP. South Huron started its playdowns Friday in Mount Forest and host them Jan. 30. Mudge said while South Huron can play any style, its strength is a disciplined, system ori- ented game with strong goaltending. Mudge thanks the par- ents as well as the large number of South Huron fans who were in Sarnia.
