Loss in Weekend makes Playoff hopes Dim

If the Sunrise Toyota Coldwater/Orillia Tundras do not get on a win streak, they can trade their hockey sticks for golf clubs. The Tundras are in fear of missing the Major League Hockey OHA Senior AAA loop playoffs for a second straight season after making the Eastern Ontario League finals in its first season.

Last Saturday, the Tundras went defeated by the reigning League Champion Dundas Real McCoys 6-3 at the Coldwater and District Community Centre. After a scoreless first period, the red lights were flashing in the second period with 6 goals scored. The visiting Real McCoys went into the dressing room after the second frame up 4-2. Dundas opened up with 3 goals before the Tundras’ Jesse Cook scored on the power play. Shawn Shewchuk gave the visitors a 4-1 lead but the Tundras closed the gap to two on a goal by the Team’s leading scorer, Dennis Dewar with 32 seconds left in the middle stanza.

Presidents Message

2009

From all of us at the Sunrise Toyota Coldwater/Orillia Tundras, we wish all of you best of the season and a prosperous New Year. I would also like to take this time and thank those behind the scenes people who are involved with us; arena staff, minor hockey liasons and those in all media who tell our fans about us. Without their support, it would be impossible to bring Senior AAA hockey to you the fans.

But most of all, I want to thank my wife, Yvonne. Without her support and help, the job of running the hockey club would be impossible. Not only does she wear the hat of Head Cheerleader,
she greets all of you at the door when you purchase your tickets as well as keep the boys’ jerseys washed. Thanks Yvonne, we all appreciate your efforts.

BAUER PLAYER OF THE MONTH

MLH - Dennis Dewar

Currently in last this sesason, it's been tough for the Coldwater Tundras to find something to smile about. However, a bright spot in the organization has come to shine in tough games. Dennis Dewar, Novembers MLH Bauer Player of the Month, managed to become that bright spot when he scored three goals and eight assists in just five games through the month of November. The speedy forward did everything he could but even his contributions on the game sheet were not enough to move his team up in the standings. In his second season with the Tundras, Dewar would like nothing more then to help his team win a championship.
