Sunday’s SCTA Midget Major AAA All-Star Game, played in Burlington, featured several Welland Front Row Sports Tigers players as participants for Team White (consisting of players selected from the Burlington Eagles, Hamilton Jr. Bulldogs, St. Catharines Falcons, Niagara Falls Thunder and Welland Front Row Sports Tigers) in their battle against Team Red (consisting of players from the Oakville Rangers, Brampton Battalion, Halton Hurricanes, Guelph Storm and Grey-Bruce Highlanders).

While Team Red were able to pull out a 4-3 victory, despite the strong play of Welland Tigers #44 Jesse Ross, #21 Dustin Gatt and #25 Emmett Beedom, on behalf of Team White. Ross, well-known for his strong physical style of play, used a bone-jarring hit in the defensive zone to take away the puck and then proceeded down the full-length of the ice, using the give-and-go with his wingman to perfection, to get lined up for a one-time blast that made its way past Team Red netminder, Bobby Rain of Oakville, at 7:23 of the second period.
Welland teammate, #21 Dustin Gatt, scored with six minutes remaining in the middle frame, using a nifty play to come out from the corner boards and even up the game at 3-3. The game would remain deadlocked until 4:43 left to play when Team Red would land the go-ahead marker.
Team White continued to press for the tying goal in the final moments, with #91 Emmett Beedom using an end-to-end rush to create a great scoring chance with two minutes remaining, only to be thwarted on the play by the outstretched pad of Brampton’s Brad Parzych. More chances ensued after Team White pulled their netminder in favour of the extra-attacker, but in the end they were not able to land the equalizer.
This contest, as expected, was a great showcase of the talent on display locally each week. Fans would be wise to keep their calendars open for when the elite of the SCTA take on the best from the ETA, in a second All-Star Game to be played in Oshawa on January 26 at 3:30pm.
