Goalkeeper Zach Jost stood tall in the nets all season long. Three Tigers were in the all-star game over the weekend.
All in all, this was a very good year for the Oakville Tigers Mid States hockey team. The team had an 18-9 season (6-1-1) in the Southwest Division II, good enough for first place. Altogether, the Tigers powered 118 goals. Junior forward Steve Farina was the team's top goal scorer with 20 this season.
