After the
Shamrock tournament the St. Clair Colts and Northern
Vikings could not have been any more opposite.
Northern
won the tournament after going undefeated, while the
Colts finished the tournament in last place, not
winning a single game. Fast forward to today and the
two teams are ready to faceoff against each other in
the finals of the LSSAA boys hockey for the Lambton
Cup on Wednesday at the Sarnia Arena.
The
Vikings had a challenging year, at one point tied
with SCITS for the final playoff spot with only a
single win. But after a late season surge they
clinched a playoff spot and found themselves up
against the number one St. Christpher Cyclones. In a
stunning upset the Vikings won in overtime, shutting
out the Cyclones 1-0. The Vikings have played in the
last five Lambton Cup Finals.
The Colts
started the season on the wrong side of the win
column, but during the middle of the season found
their stride and moved up the standings, edging out
LCCVI for the second overall team. With a thrilling
3-2 victory over the Lancers in double overtime, the
Colts return to the Lambton Cup final for the first
time since 1997.

LSSAA boys’ high school hockey in Lambton County
officially began play in the fall of 1986. The
actual Cup traces its origin to Switzerland that
same year. In late 1986, the silver Cup was
presented to the St.Clair Boys’ hockey team at the
conclusion of a series of exhibition games that they
played in that country. Once brought back to Sarnia,
Al Duffy (a manager of St.Clair hockey) then had the
Cup mounted onto a wood base. Christened the LSSAA
“Lambton Cup”, it was presented to the champions of
boys’ high school hockey in 1986/87. In that first
season of LSSAA boys’ hockey, the “Cup” was won by
the St.Clair Colts. It has been presented every year
since then to the champions of LSSAA Boys high
school hockey. It is kept on display in the LSSAA
showcase in the Clearwater arena.
