An Ottawa Valley under-14 hockey team is dominating the competition at the Ontario Winter Games in Renfrew County this weekend, and looking to become some of the first local athletes to win medals for the region.
The Ottawa Valley Titans won their Saturday morning game versus Sault Ste. Marie 13-4, leaving them undefeated heading into Saturday's semifinals."To be in my adopted hometown leading a phenomenal group of young men is like a dream come true to be honest with you," Buffam told CTV News following the team's big win.
"To be in a community that my family is from; my mom and dad are from here, I taught here for 20 years.""I felt we were the underdogs in this tournament," said Andrew Enright, a defenceman on the team from Cobden. The Titans are one of the eight best U14 teams from across the province competing at the Ontario Winter Games, along with teams from places like Ottawa, Barrie, and Toronto."It's a lot of fun and I think the competition is the best part of the game," says defenceman and Eganville resident Tyler McEnery. "And now that we're playing against Toronto teams we get a different type of hockey play.
"I think it's a good opportunity but I also think that we're still very young and there's lots of years to come until we hit that spot," says forward Kaden McGregor from Braeside.
