The Detroit 15/16 team sucessfully cap-
tured its fourth straight gold medal vic-
tory. Entering into the playoffs on the
final day of competition, the team was
5-2 and the fourth seed after earlier loss-
es to Mid-Island, New York and
Montreal.
In the first round, Philadelphia gave
Detroit an instant wake-up call with a
quick 3-0 lead. Detroit fought back,
with the game ending in a 4-4 tie. The
team advanced to the next round after a
3-2 shootout.
South Shore, the top seed in the tour-
nament, was Detroit's next opponent. In
a very close game, Detroit won with a 3-
2 victory.
In the gold medal game, Detroit was
up against Montreal, which was looking
for revenge after Detroit's victory in the
final game last year. Detroit fell behind
2-0 before tying the game 2-2. Montreal
then scored and was up 3-2, then 3-4,
with Detroit fighting to tie the score
each time Montreal took the lead.
Detroit took a 5-4 lead and then sealed
a 6-4 victory with an empty-net goal
with two seconds remaining.
"After the game, the Detroit and
Montreal players embraced each other
with congratulations in the true spirit
of sportsmanship and the Maccabi
games," says coach Michael Robbins.
"The players from both teams then
posed together under the American
and Canadian flags as a show of
friendship, brotherhood and solidarity.
It was a moment that none of the
players, coaches, parents and anyone
in attendance will ever forget." [I
