The Aarkel Bantam TC1 Lakers from Wallaceburg are the Tri-County Hockey League champions.

On Saturday afternoon, the squad traveled to Mooretown for Game #2 of their best-of-three series.

After narrowly taking Game #1 in a shootout, Wallaceburg was looking to finish things off and they did just that.

The Lakers found themselves down 1-0 through two periods of play but eventually tied things up in the third period with a goal from Zander Cogghe, which was set up by a beautiful pass from Jackson Oliver.

Minutes later, Oliver found the score sheet again with a goal of his own to give Wallaceburg the lead.

With solid goaltending by Aiden “Macky” MacDonald and shut down defense by the team in the remaining minutes, Wallaceburg held on to win 2-1, making them the Tri-County Hockey League champions.
