Tournament season is in full swing for the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association.

The league hosted its Bantam House Tournament Nov. 6-8.

Four visiting teams, the Quesnel Rednecks, the Kamloops Chiefs, the Kamloops Colts and Prince George White joined the Williams Lake Green Hornets, Williams Lake Red, the Lakecity Ducks and the Williams Lake Bullets at the tournament.

It was a barn burner Sunday morning as first-ranked Quesnel Rednecks took on Prince George White in a matchup that had the crowd on its feet. In the end Prince George scored the game winner with eight seconds remaining to advance with a 4-3 win.

In the gold-medal game the Colts defeated Prince George, 5-0.

The Lakecity Ducks, meanwhile, took the top spot among local teams with a fifth-place finish after a 3-1 win over Williams Lake Red.
