TORONTO, Ontario - It was a tough game, but the Ontario Produce Marketing Association team scored with 32 seconds left in overtime to clinch the "Produce Cup" at the third annual Half Your Plate Classic held May 9. 

The event, part of the CPMA 2017, benefited the Ladies First Hockey Foundation, said Ron Lemaire, CPMA president, who also scored one of five CPMA goals in the game. 

CPMA also brought in some ringers -- members of the Canadian Women's National Hockey Team -- and three-time Olympic medalist Vicky Sunohara was Team CPMA's honorary coach.
