Langley won its second-ever title at the 52nd annual Burnaby Bantam Classic hockey tournament on Dec. 30.
Player of the game and all-tournament forward Leland Konrath scored a goal in both the first and third periods to help the Eagles knock off the Coquitlam Chiefs 6-3 in the gold-medal final at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Tuesday.
Langley jumped out to a 3-0 advantage and held on to the lead despite a mini-Coquitlam comeback in the middle frame that closed the deficit to a single point at one stage of the period.
But two costly turnovers late in the second period helped the Eagles regain a three-goal advantage.
Langley edged eventual bronze medalist Seafair 2-1 in the tournament semifinal. Coquitlam had an easier time of it, cruising by South Delta 7-1 to advance to the final.
Seafair defeated South Delta 2-0 in the consolation final.
Host Burnaby Minor lost 3-1 to Seafair in the tournament quarter-final.
Joining Konrath on the all-star team were most outstanding forward Michael Tersigni from South Delta and Surrey’s Sky Hall.
Ridge Meadows’ Emmett Garrett and most outstanding defender and top female prospect Courtney Vorster from Seafair were named to the all-star blue line.
Coquitlam’s Jonathan Holloway was named top goalie.
