The Renegades have captured another title after a recent stormy weekend in the honeymoon capital. While in Niagara Falls, the Valley East Renegades Belle team added another title to a very successful season.

In the opening match versus Oshawa, the ladies defeated the Storm by a 7- 4 count. During their second match, they were outscored in an offensive battle 10 - 8 by the Woolwich Reds. Game number three was a successful match, winning 6 - 5 against the Caledonia Lightening. When the round robin was finished, they found themselves in second place. The ladies were to play the Woolwich Reds in the finals. After roaring out to a 3 - 0 lead in the first period, their opponent fought back to tie the game in regulation time at 4 - 4.

The Renegades found themselves in uncharted waters not having played in overtime all season. 

With convincing style, they played on, not allowing the ring to enter their defensive zone or to have a single shot on net, to score 2:34 into the overtime frame. These ladies have played hard all winter, losing one game during the season to become season champs. Into the playoffs they have fought hard as well, losing one game, to finish first over all. Their final test comes at the Nickel Basin Championship game April 6th.
