It came down to the last minute, but New York defeated Toronto 1-0 in a thrilling championship game on Saturday afternoon, April 6, to win the Eastern York Hockey Association's Junior Stanley Cup.

The Little Stanley Cup is presented annually to the Eastern York Hockey Association's home league Pee Wee championship team and has been a tradition since the 1954-55 season.

This year, East York Hockey Association Junior Stanley Cup Day was held at the East York Memorial Arena on Cosburn Avenue.

The championship game was a thriller that saw New York and Toronto battle back and forth until Jamie York scored the game-winning goal with just 18 seconds left in regulation.

The Eastern York Hockey Association is the only minor hockey league authorized by the National Hockey League to use a replica of the Stanley Cup. Permission was granted by then-NHL president Clarence Campbell.
