The Ice Dogs’ name will be displayed on the original Silver Stick in the Canada Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto later this summer. They are the first Hockey Eastern Ontario-Minor/District 3 Rep B squad ever to win an International Silver Stick Championship title. «Congratulations to the coaching staff for their hard work, implication and dedication,” stated Levac. “The team did not only work hard on the ice but their determination, teamwork and sports- manship were also unparalleled.” The Casselman-Embrun Ice Dogs are howling with glee this week after the Minor Bantam regional team brought home the top prize at the four-day Sil- ver Stick International hockey tourna- ment in Newmarket, Ontario. “Perseverance and determination did it,” stated Roch Levac, Ice Dogs manager. The team qualified for the playoffs after going two and two in the round- robin play. The Ice Dogs faced stiff opposition in the semi-final round, including eight periods of overtime against the Wood- stock Junior Navy Vets, a highly favoured AA team that had allowed just one goal against themselves during their own round-robin session. The Ice Dogs slipped in the winning goal for a 2-1 finish against the Navy Vets and moved on to the finals against the Barrie Colts, winning that in regular period play 2-1 and claiming the Silver Stick for themselves.
