Pelham hosts Niagara Regional Silver Stick Local League Qualifier
Submitted By PMHA Admin on Monday, December 16, 2019
On November 29, 2019, 26 teams, 9 from Pelham came to the
Meridian Community Centre to participate in the 2nd Annual Niagara Regional
Silver Stick tournament.
The tournament allows the winner from each division advance
to the International Silver Stick Finals that is also hosted by Pelham in
January.
The facility hosted 400 players and their families over 3
days and 61 games.
The PMHA had 2 Atom, 1 Peewee, 3 Bantam, and 3 Midget teams
participating in the tournament.

The tournament provided exciting competition in all age groups. Unfortunately, on day three, just before the championship finals games were to begin, the Meridian Community Centre lost power and had to cancel all remaining games for the day.
After many discussions between committee members, OMHA officials and remaining teams, it was decided that both finalists for the Atom, Peewee and Bantam divisions would proceed to the January Finals. Since 4 teams still remained at the Midget age group, the 4 teams returned to the Meridian Community Centre on Friday December 13th to play out the semi-final and final game to determine a winner.
The Pelham Midget LL1 team went undefeated for their 6 games and took home the Silver Stick banner to advance to the Finals.
We would like to thank Todd Major, Steve Hatt, and Sean Stewart for all of their volunteer efforts to make the tournament a success and show off Pelham and their facilities.
