Novice Black, U9 (Major Novice), 2013-2014 (Mt Brydges Minor Hockey)

The Novice Black team showed up early Saturday morning in Parkhill to play in their last tournament of the season.  After five games in two days, the kids ended a fantastic season with an A championship win!  Way to Go Novice Black! 

It all started with a ‘Welcome to Novice Black’ email on September 19, 2013, followed by our first practice on September 21.  The Novice Black team has had a fantastic season and the fun is still NOT over yet.  Here is a recap of the amazing season we have had so far … 

The Novice Black team traveled to the Motor City to experience their first ‘away’ tournament of the season.  Our first game against the Sarnia Sting was not until 5:10PM at the Ice Box.  Most parents opted to check-in to the hotel first.  There was no missing this hotel from the road.  The entire exterior was pink.  Yes, you read that right – pink!  No matter if it was pink, green, purple or orange, this hotel treated our Black team like GOLD … 

The Novice Black team arrived in Bothwell Saturday morning pumped up and ready to play.  It started straight away as the team and their parents hit the change rooms. There were good tunes and some good dance moves - and not just from the kids ...

This was an action packed week for the Novice Black kids.  The team got a few days away from the arena to celebrate Christmas with family and friends.  After all the turkey was eaten, the presents were opened and the equipment was aired out … it was back to hockey.
