Toronto Titans 4 vs. Toronto Jr. Canadiens 2Date: Saturday, October 21, 2017Report filed by: Chris BowenChristian Trianni – G (Toronto Titans)
The main reason why the Titans were able to pul out the win. Made a number of high quality saves and had great rebound control all game. Made a big desperation save where he stacked the pads to rob a Jr. Canadiens forward during the second period to preserve a one goal lead. First star of the night.

It was a great gathering of talent in London over the Thanksgving weekend as minor midget AAA teams competed in the Wendy Dufton Memorial Tournament.
Always one of the top tournaments of the scouting season, the 2017 edition may have been one of the best in recent years with a loaded field of top teams and high-end talent.Everyone in attendance saw the York-Simcoe Express, an absolute locomotive of a team, blitz through everyone on route to the championship. They were led by the jaw-dropping Quinton Byfield who put on a show unlike any we’ve seen in minor midget in several years.
The tournament featured some shocking upsets which saw the likes of the high-powered Toronto Marlboros and Vaughan Kings bow out much earlier than expected. Even more surprising however was the run that the North York Rangers went on, defying all expectations and predictions by defeating top teams and embarking on the unlikeliest of runs all the way to the final game on Sunday.
TheScout.ca team was proud to have the tournament covered from start to finish with Director of Scouting Andrew Sykes and area scouts Mitch Avis, Matt Stewart, Jason Gray, Joe Highgate and Branden Scott all taking in the action and contributing to the following report.

Toronto Marlboros vs. Toronto Nationals
Date: September 29, 2017
Report filed by: Jason Gray
Jamie Drysdale, D, Toronto Marlboros
An absolute treat to watch skate the way he can evade defenders with ease. He lures you in on the attack and then escapes pressure with what looks like little effort. He always squares his shoulders north while skating to ensure a smooth and proper pass to his teammates. His persistence with or without the puck is a thing of beauty and rarely do you ever seem him stand still or get caught flat footed. He closes gaps and maintains offensive pressure with his elite skating and ability to anticipate the play. Rarely is a pass or shot blocked or picked off as he can change the angle so quickly that defenders are unable to react. A gifted player who projects to be a top pair defender at the next level.
Riley Piercey, F, Toronto Marlboros
An excellent penalty killer who forces turnovers, and as a result of those turnovers, generated a short handed goal in this affair. A big, tall rangy power-forward who will only get better as he adds strength to a fairly slight frame. Strong, smooth skater who finds openings and lanes to result in scoring chances. Was prevented from a multi-goal game from two great saves by the Nats goalie.

The Alliance Minor Midget AAA Showcase changed location from St. Mary’s the last few years, to Windsor for the 2017 event. Windsor AAA Zone were great hosts, providing the 12 teams with on and off-ice activities along with each team playing three games over the three days.
The cold rinks served as refuge to the stifling temperatures outside as the Alliance showcased their teams and players to a ton of scouts and team management who gathered at Windsor’s Central Park Athletics facility.
Director of Scouting Andrew Sykes and area scouts Mitch Avis and Mitch Brandner took in the action from start to finish and contributed to the following report:

It was our first look at the Jr. Rangers as they were one of the few teams who did not compete at the Toronto Titans Prospect Tournament. They showed well, dropping a tight 4-3 decision to the Hawks who are the early favourites in the Alliance.
Alliance/SCTA scout Mitch Avis was on hand and filed the following report:
