In game two, the ice held the Otters and the Mariposa Lightning, with another successful win for Huntsville, 3-0, earning the Otters a bye straight into the Sunday semi-finals.<\/p>\n<p>Huntsville played against Niagara on the Lake and kept a strong lead to take their third win of the weekend, 4-1, and a berth in the finals. The Major Midgets had lost a couple of players due to a broken clavicle and to a suspension, but having a smaller bench and adjusting the lines didn\u2019t rock this team heading into the finals.<\/p>\n<p>Huntsville met up with the tournament hosts, the Lincoln Blades, and took their motto to the ice. They denied every Lincoln shot to take the gold, 3-0. Great teamwork, Otters!<\/p>\n<div id=\"m_2718857806332289564yiv7233824082AppleMailSignature\">The team&#8217;s coaches are all about respect and having fun, says team manager Amanda Jones. Coaching the players to be good citizens on and off the ice is very important to them.<\/div>\n<p>The Otters Major Midgets have played just one regular season game so far &#8211; a 3-3 tie against Parry Sound.
