On September 11th the good guys started on the road in Belle River where they took on the Jr.Canadiens. The Belle River squad was a much more seasoned group with slick passes and a knack for the net. The final score was 8-2 for the Canadiens, however the Bantam players never gave up and actually only trailed 4-2 after 2 periods of play. Mitchell Chausse scored both goals with helpers going to Nicholas Jraige, Dylan Mills,Gerrid LaSala and Ty Simpson. Good effort by all and Brandan Lavadan was spectacular in net.

On September 16th and 17th, the good guys were at home for games against the Tecumseh Eagles. Both games were lopsided in Tecumseh's favour as they have a very talented team.

On September 23rd,the Bantams travelled to Chatham to take on the Cobras. The coaching staff believed that this was probably the best game played of the year, however, the team took it on the chin. Brandan Lavadan and Cody Mifflin played well in net facing many quality shots. Player pucks went to Nicholas Jraige and Ty Simpson.  To read more go to www.leamingtonpostandshopper.com.
