Congratulations to the Peewee AA Team for being the Champions of the Aston Thanksgiving Tournament. The team played 5 games, winning four games and tying one game. In the round robin games Lancaster Firebirds faced the Grundy Senators winning 5-3 , Delco Phantoms winning 6-2 and Genesis Hockey Club tied 1-1.  After round robin play the Peewee AA team was tied for first in points but do their goals against during round robin play they were awarded second. In the semi final game, the Peewee AA team would face the Grundy Senators for the second time in the tournament defeating them once again by a score of 4-2 to advance to the championship game versus Genesis Hockey Club.  In the final game against Genesis both teams exchanged scoring chances until finally midway thru the second period Jackson Milne with a great back checking effort stripped the puck away from one their forwards and chipped the puck by one of the Genesis defensemen that was picked up by Lancaster Firebirds forward Zaden Latkovich  springing him on a 2 on 1 with teammate  Lucas Goldyn.  Zaden Latkovich drew both the defensemen and goalie to one side feeding a perfectly placed pass to Lucas Goldyn for the tap in giving the team the 1-0 lead.  The Genesis Hockey Club continued to press throughout the game but with an outstanding defensive effort by the team and with goaltender Mason Courville making several key saves, the team withheld Genesis and was victorious beating Genesis Hockey Club 1-0. 

Chad Neiss II ("Bomber") played hockey for the Lancaster Firebirds from 1999 through 2013.  He was a beloved member of the Firebirds hockey community.  While he played hockey with an edge, toughness and grit, off the ice, he was a caring person who would go out of his way to help anyone.  While he had many great memories over his 14 years playing, his most memorable was scoring the game-winning goal at the 2009 Philadelphia Regional Silver Sticks tournament, sending the team to Port Huron for the finals.  The Chad Neiss II Memorial Scholarship Fund is set up in his honor to help youth hockey players that need financial assistance afford the awesome game that Bomber loved so much.
