There’ll have to make room for another banner inside the Elma-Logan Recreation Complex in Monkton.
The Intermediate C Wildcats earned silver at the provincials following a 2-0 setback to Owen Sound in the final game on Sunday, Feb. 21.
Elma-Logan cruised through the tournament to get to the championship, beating Glencoe 3-0, Stratford 4-0 and Saugeen Shores 4-1.
