PeeWees vs Minto Now Points Series
Like the Seaforth series, the WOAA semi finals vs Minto is now a 6 point series after a 4-4 overtime tie in Harriston on Jan. 22.

This was a very exciting game, where the refs let the players dictate the outcome for the most part.  Playing catch up for most of the game, Wingham did have a 4-3 lead midway through the third period.
Minto opened the scoring early, but Les Irvine tied it for Wingham shortly after.  Minto would go up 2-1 and 3-2 with Wingham catching up both times on goals by Colton Dunn and Noah Young.  Wingham took the lead on Dunn's second goal of the game. 
Late in the third Wingham had to kill off a 2 man disadvantage for a full 2 minutes.  Dunn was called on a hit from behind and that along with a bench minor put the team down 2 players.  The penalty was superb, killing off the entire minutes without much of a scare from Minto.  However, the penalty killers could only do so much.  With 1:26 left another penalty put Wingham shorthanded again.  Minto managed to finally tie the score with a 6 on 4 advantage with their goalie pulled for an extra attacker.
The 10 minute overtime had good chances for both teams, but neither could find the back of the net.  Game 3 is in Wingham on Jan. 26 at 7:00 and game 4 in Palmerston at 6:00 p.m.  Game 5 will be played in Wingham on Jan. 29 at 5:45 p.m.
