Tigers Suffer OT Heartbreak
It was overtime heartbreak for the Welland Telus Tigers on home ice Sunday afternoon but thanks to a new playoff format the team will look to claw back into their four-point Championship series with Stoney Creek later this week as the two teams vie for a berth in the OMHA Major Peewee A Quarterfinals.

Welland compiled a 3-1 record during the round-robin portion of the Playdowns, defeating Grimsby, Garden City and Glanbrook before suffering a defeat at the hands of the Stoney Creek Warriors.

Nicolas DiPietro scored twice and Easton McComber, Carter Kipp and Carter Risto added single tallies as Welland opened play with a 5-0 win over the Kings. Bryson Farr was in net for his seventh shutout of the season.

The Tigers then set down the Garden City Falcons 5-2 on goals from Risto, Quinten Hemauer, Tyler Rowland, DiPietro and Simon Guglielmi. Ty Kostyniuk and Nicolas Roberge scored for the Falcons.

Kaleb Seguin, Hemauer and DiPietro would pace the Tigers past Glanbrook 3-1 with Lucas Ecker countering for the Rangers and Guglielmi and Kipp scored for Welland as they came up just short in a 3-2 loss to Stoney Creek. Matthew Millar scored twice and Zachary Startek once for the Warriors in the final round-robin game.

Welland would prevail 3-2 over Grimsby in Sunday's semi-final with Tyler Rowland netting two and DiPietro one. Kieran McKenna scored both goals for Grimsby.

Welland would force overtime in Sunday's first game of the four-point Championship final with a third period rally, however they would succumb to Stoney Creek again by an identical 3-2 score as the Warriors scored just over two minutes into the extra period. Hemauer and Rowland scored for Welland with Owen Kerr, Niko Kotsopoulos and Macauley Wellstead answering back for Stoney Creek.
