1983 ESSO Challenge Cup - Consolation Final game - Winnipeg South Monarchs vs North Bay Acklands

1983 ESSO Challenge Cup 3rd place playoff between the Winnipeg South Monarchs (my team! I'm the goalie) and North Bay Acklands. This tournament was held in Toronto. It was a big international tournament. Future NHLers Greg Johnson (Thunder Bay) and Kris Draper (Toronto Young Nationals) were involved. I remember the team from Finland destroying us 6-1 in our opening match. If you wait until near the end of this video, you'll see a segment that Don Cherry recorded about the tourney. I was told that it was shown on CBC's Hockey Night In Canada back in the day, but I didn't witness it, so I don't know for sure. Anyway, if you watch the short segment that Cherry made, you can see me allowing two different goals from the Finnish team. 😂 I'm the goalie who Cherry consoles: "Oh well, kid, you can't stop 'em all!". Anyway, great memories from this trip/tourney. We (Wpg South Monarchs) absolutely sucked in our five team league back in Wpg (last place at the time), but somehow we won third place at this big international tourney in Toronto!!! 😁
