The Essex 73's can add a 7th Clarence Schmalz Cup to their trophy case. They beat Port Hope Friday night with a 1-0 victory in game 7 of the provincial junior C final series.

Port Hope came back after going down 3-0 in the series to force the game 7 with 3 straight victories.

On route to the title Essex lost only 4 times with wins against Exeter, Ayr and eventually Port Hope.

Jordan Ryan scored the game's lone goal. He played in last year's semi-final against Wingham.
