The Estevan McGillicky peewee Thunder celebrate their gold medal win at the peewee A home tournament Sunday at Affinity Place.

With a flare for the dramatic once again, the Estevan McGillicky peewee Thunder won their second tournament in a row, this time on home ice.

Affinity Place Sunday afternoon saw a dramatic victory over in-town rival Estevan Tower Wolves, as the Wolves came back to tie the final game in the third period, only to have the Thunder come back with a goal of their own and an empty net goal to seal the 5-3 win in the Estevan Minor Hockey peewee A tournament.

Two weeks ago, the Thunder won a tournament in Oxbow, with an equally dramatic final period. This time, in a 12-team tournament with teams from Brandon, Weyburn, Yorkton, Balgonie, Yellow Grass, Regina and Moose Jaw they went undefeated in four games en route to a home tournament win.
