The Elgin Chrysler Major Midgets lost in O/T Sunday to the Amherstburg Stars 3-2 in a heart breaking finish to the 2009/10 season.  St. Thomas was leading the 2nd round with 2 points – 0 going into the weekend, but after 2 disappointing losses Friday and Saturday… they were in a do-or-die situation Sunday at home.  STMHA alumni Adam Brisson (Aylmer Spitfires) came to support his old team mates acting as announcer with the help of Ricky Corkum our AP Goalie… they kept the energy level high with music and game stats! There was another large crowd out to watch and support our boys on Super Bowl ...
