The Orangeville Northmen have captured their second straight Minto Cup, dropping the Brampton Excelsiors in the third and deciding game of this year’s national Junior A tourney, 8-4.

The final saw a clutch game from Northmen tender Nick Rose, solid D by Orangeville’s back-floor and another third period gear check called by Brampton head coach Brian Beisel, this time not going the Excels way and resulting in a delay of game penalty, an empty netter shortly following.

Check back to NLL Insider on Monday for more on Sunday night’s final, along with our selection for the ‘09 Jr. A playoff performer of the year.
