November 17th 2007 - CARMEL, IN - The Indianapolis Racers Bantam Silver Racers won the Silver Stick Mid-American Regional tournament on Nov. 11 in Ft. Wayne, IN. Over the four game tournament, the Racers saw qualifying victories against the North Pittsburgh Wildcats, Ft. Wayne Selects and a tie against the Sylvania Leafs. In the championship game, the Racers faced Sylvania again and this time won 7-2 in their best game of the season. Racer forwards Cole Kimmel, Micky Gillen and team captain David Shingler each recorded hat tricks over the tournament weekend, along with solid goaltending in each game from Brandon Krumper and Joe Sakowski. \"Our tournament victory was a total team effort with scoring output from all three forward lines and excellent defense. In the championship game against Sylvania, we defeated a tough Buckeye League competitor. We look forward to representing Indianapolis at the Silver Stick Finals in January,\" commented Racer coach John Grainda. The team will now advance to the Silver Stick International tournament in Pelham, Ontario in January 2008. Congratulations and good luck to the Racer Bantam Silver team! |
