The Napanee U15 Stars won the Oakville Winter Classic, handling Parry Sound 5-1 to show what they were made of, after losing to the same squad 6-2 a day earlier.
Kohen Cutler put then on the board as the teams traded goals in the first frame. In the second, Callen Wilson combined with Wyatt Albright and Ben Kerr for the winner, and Kerr would add another. In the third, Will Babcock and Brock Boutilier would ensure the win. To get to the final, the boys shutout Orillia 5-0 and defeated Ajax-Pickering 4-1. Sunday morning they advanced with a 5-1 win over Peterborough. Callen Wilson got the winner early on in the Orillia shut-out, Ben Kerr tallied the winner in Game 2, and Wesley Davey clinched the Peterborough victory with a goal. Carter Cork and Jackson Godfrey shared goal tending duties effectively.
