Eagles double trouble in New West

Two Langley Minor Hockey Association midget teams both victorious at New Westminster tournament

A pair of Langley midget hockey teams stole the show in New Westminster.

Both the Langley A2 Eagles and the Langley C4 Eagles were victorious in their respective divisions at the 2011 Herb House Midget A/C Tournament.

The tournament began on Satuday and concluded on Tuesday.

Neither Langley squad lost a single game on their march to their respective tournament titles.

The A2 Eagles defeated Surrey A2 4-1 in the gold medal game, while the C4 squad beat Ridge Meadows C3 by a 6-4 score.

They also beat New Westminster C2 5-3 in the semifinals on Tuesday morning while the A2 Eagles team edged Abbotsford A2 3-1.

In fact, the Langley A2 team only allowed more than two goals in a game once, when Ridge Meadows score four during a round robin game. Of course, the Eagles struck for 10 themselves in that contest.

Altogether, the team went 4-0 in round robin play, outscoring their foes 26-8.

Langley C4 also went 4-0 in round robin action, winning by a combined 20-9 score.
