"Geez, Bob," the AAA convener said to me as he put his hands on my shoulders, "I knew you thought we needed extra security for the game; I didn't think it was for you."

Larry's stab at humor made me laugh a little and I saw the foolishness of it all. I just turned around and walked back to the dressing room.

Like the Quinte series before it, this one with York-Simcoe was going the distance, to a fifth and deciding game, but because of the way points were awarded, York-Simcoe could win the series with an overtime tie and we had to win the game outright to get it to a sixth game. We were on home ice and, sure enough, the game went into overtime. With a minute left, Zack Greer had a wonderful chance to end it, but he was foiled by their goalie. Time expired. The game and the series were over, and our dream of getting to the OMHA tournament was dead, too.

We had come so close, but when one took into account where this group started at the beginning of the minor peewee season and where they were at when the major peewee season ended, it was an incredibly gratifying experience.

It was the best year of my life in minor hockey.
