Congratulations to the AAA 2001 CT Yankees on winning the OTTF tournament in Toronto May 9.  The 2001's beat the Jr. Bruins in the semi finals 3-2 in Overtime and then beat the Toronto Bulldogs 5-0 in the Finals.  This was only the 2nd CT Yankee team to win the OTTF Tournament and the first since 2002.  Congratulations to Coach Tomasz Piatek and all of the CT Yankees.  Special recognition to Parker Ravosa, who was named MVP of the championship game, and to Nikita Nesterenko who was named MVP of the tournament.

97 CT Yankees Win CT Yankee Tournament

The 97 CT Yankees split into two teams for the 2009 Yankee tournament.  Playing in separate brackets, the Red team and Blue team each went 4-0 in the round robin to make the crossovers.  Both teams won their respective semifinal games and met in an epic championship game on Sunday.

The two Yankee teams battled to a 1-1 tie at the end of regulation in a tense, tight checking game.  The score remained knotted at 1-1 as play continued though five overtimes, with goaltenders at each end making crucial saves to prolong the contest.  After the fifth overtime, the teams went to a deciding shootout that ended the contest at 2-1.  The winning team is shown in the photo.

Congratulations to all players and coaches on a great season.  Have a terrific summer!
