Tournament MVP Adam Jones and Jesse Gamble scored two goals each and Craig England, Jeremy Noble, Brandon Ivey and Jon Harnett added one each in an 8-4 victory over Brampton in the third and deciding game of the Minto Cup final Sunday night. "It was our goal all along to try to defend our championship," said coach Matt Sawyer. "We had a sign up in our room that said `Great teams are not defined by a single championship. We wanted to prove were a great team. We were more than happy with winning it last year but we were on a mission from the get-go to defend this thing. "It is so satisfying to win it again. Im so proud of this team. To be able to do it against our archrivals, Brampton, in front of our fans from 30 minutes down the road makes it a little bit sweeter." Scoring for the Excelsiors in front of a Powerade Centre crowd of 3,500 were Chris Corbeil, Scott Tinning, Dylan Evans and Dane Stevens. "We knew we needed to play our best game to beat them and we didnt play our best game," said Brampton coach Brian Beisel. "They deserved it. They played better than us. Were proud of our guys for taking it to the limit, but congratulations to Orangeville." Sawyer had said after Brampton tied the best-of-three series with an 11-8 win Saturday that he needed a better defensive effort from his players Sunday, and he got it. His defence was superb and goaltender Nick Rose completed his junior career with a sensational 42-save performance. "This team has been so resilient," said Rose.

Jones, a field star at Canisius College at Buffalo, will be back. "Its definitely something you dream about as a kid," he said of winning the Jim McConaghy Memorial Award as MVP. "Its icing on the cake. The Minto Cup is what we came for." The Northmen led 3-0 after one period and were up 4-0 early in the second before the Excelsiors put a ball behind Rose. It was 6-4 when Ivey delivered the backbreaker at 14:03 of the third period. Taking a pass in front of Steve Fryer with his back to the goalie, he swung an over-the-back shot into the net. Beisel then requested a measurement of Roses pads. They were okay and the Excelsiors were assessed a penalty for delay of game. With Fryer off for an extra attacker, Harnett tossed in an empty-netter at 18:37. With 40 seconds remaining, Orangeville was penalized for too many men and Brampton was awarded a penalty shot. OLA scoring champion Andrew Potter took it. Rose stopped it. Keeping Potter out of the goals scored column all night was one of the keys to victory for the Northmen. Fryer made 41 saves.

Orangeville has won the Minto Cup five times, while Brampton remains without a national Jr. A title since 1959. ' ' '
