Cody and Clayton Hodgson were the backbone of the Unionville High School hockey team this year, helping the surprising Wolves win the York Region championship.
Now the Wolves are on their own for the Ontario playoffs and the brothers are feeling the heat.
The Hodgson boys did admit to some surprise that the Wolves, despite no practices the past month, were able to put together seven solid victories to win their first-ever hockey title.
But that caused a problem for two-thirds of Unionville's No. 1 line - Mark Janovski would be the only member of the trio moving on to the next round.
Prior to the start of the school season, the brothers said their commitment to the Markham Waxers major midget triple-A team would take precedence. They made it clear to Waxers coach Joe Cornacchia that he could count on them regardless of what happened at Unionville.
That put the brothers in a bind when both teams made it to the elite level of Ontario playoffs. So on Monday, the bus with the school team pulled away without them for a 22-hour trip to Fort Frances.
The Wolves, having qualified for the 59th annual provincial high school playdowns, have become big news at a school that only started a hockey program four years ago.
After last year's so-so season, the hockey trophy has stolen the limelight from other school accomplishments.
Now the Wolves will be put to the test without the Hodgsons, Cody, 16, and Clayton, 17.
The 20-team Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association championship starts today some 1,750 kilometres from home. Unionville, ranked No. 11, is in a pool with No. 3 Grand River of Kitchener, No. 6 Notre Dame of Burlington, No. 14 St. Peter's of Peterborough and No. 19 Dryden.
If Unionville makes it to the OFSAA quarter-finals on Friday night, that will be about the time that Cody and Clayton step on the ice in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association playoffs.
"We didn't think winning a school title was going to happen," said Cody, the Wolves' top scorer and expected to be among the top picks in this year's Ontario Hockey League draft of 16-year-olds.
"At the start of the year, there was peer pressure and you want to play for your school but we also told everyone of our situation so it was no surprise. But when we kept winning and winning, it became an issue. It leaves you with a bittersweet taste."
Clayton, who graduates in June, has been on the Unionville team for four years.
"It's unfortunate, I'd like nothing better than to play and win with both teams," he said. "I understand that people can point to us and say we should only play for one team. But maybe people scheduling playoffs need to do a better job too."
Unionville coach David Caine tried to find a way to get the two to join the school team for pool play.
"We know it's a bonus to have them in our lineup and we looked for ways to make it happen," said Caine. "It became a costly thing to fly them up or down and something that really wasn't practical. We have a resilient group, understand their situation and we'll do the best without them."
His First OHL Game 2006
OHL OPENS Rookie Cody Hodgson had a goal and assist in his OHL debut to lead the visiting Brampton Battalion past the Peterborough Petes 3-2 in opening night action yesterday.
Brampton scored three unanswered goals to rally from a 2-0 deficit. Also last night, Bryan Little had two goals and three assists to lead the Colts to a 8-4 win over Toronto in Barrie.
