Bantam AE, 2017-2018 (LaSalle Minor Hockey Association)

    While the celebration of reaching the OMHA Quarter finals was still seemingly underway we found ourselves all of the sudden about to start the first game of the series.

Then things turned, wow did they turn. The team rallied to score the next 5 unanswered and walk off with a win.
