A team of young Ukrainian players won its first game at the 63rd Quebec International Peewee Hockey Tournament Saturday, to thunderous applause.

Three late goals gave the team made up of Ukrainian refugees a 3-1 victory over the Boston Junior Bruins. The match had stayed scoreless into the third period when Boston managed to get on the board.

But Ukraine promptly answered with a trio of goals in the last five minutes. Thanks to the encouragement and applause from a packed Vidéotron Centre, Team Ukraine Select secured a second match in the tournament.

Rather than shuffle off the ice, members of the Boston Junior Bruins happily took part in a victory lap along with the Selects, which ended with the teams gathering again at centre ice.
