On Saturday, January 25, the ‘AAA’ All-Stars wrapped up the 23rd annual Under-18 All-Star Festival fuelled by Gatorade at Scotiabank Pond. Before the ‘AAA’ All-Stars hit the ice, the U18 ‘AA’ All-Stars and ‘A’ All-Stars faced off with Team Blue winning both high scoring games. 

The ‘AAA’ match-up proved to be the most balanced contest of the day, with Team Blue clinching another win in a 3-2 overtime result. 

Michael Pavlovic (Toronto Titans) received Gatorade Player of the Game honours for Team Blue after assisting on the first and last goal of the game. 

For Team Red, Marcus Colebrook (Toronto Young Nationals) earned the Gatorade Player of the Game after scoring the second goal for Team Red. 

Congratulations to the U18 ‘AAA’ All-Star Gatorade Players of the Game ???
