Final Score:...........Toronto Croatia.....2........Mississauga..............0.....
Attendance was about 125 people. Toronto Croatia completely dominated the first half and their goalie didn't have to make a stop until the second half. The two goals were scored about one minute apart. The Mississauga goalie was drawing raves as he made some good saves, he's supposed to be an import from Hungary.
