2012 U14 Huron-Perth Lakers Capture Great Lakes Cup Championship
The 2012 U14 Huron-Perth Lakers set clear goals at the beginning of the season, and one of them was to win their home tournament—the Great Lakes Cup. This weekend, they delivered.
The Lakers finished the round robin with a strong 3–1 record, earning their spot in the playoff round. In the quarterfinals, they faced the Peterborough Jr. Petes and secured a convincing 4–1 victory to advance to the semifinals. There, the Lakers battled hard against the Toronto Young Nationals, coming away with a thrilling 2–1 win.
The championship game brought a familiar opponent—the Soo Greyhounds, whom the Lakers had already faced in round-robin play, edging them 2–1. The final was another tightly contested matchup, with both teams leaving everything on the ice. Through relentless effort and determination, the Lakers prevailed, capturing the Great Lakes Cup title.
This championship is a testament to the team’s hard work, teamwork, heart, and commitment throughout the season.
Adding to an already historic achievement, the Lakers U12 team also captured their championship, marking the first time in Huron-Perth Lakers (HPL) history that both divisions won their respective titles in the same tournament.
A weekend to remember for the Lakers organization and a proud moment for players, coaches, and families alike.
