Novice Red LMLL OMHA B Division Champs!!!!
WE DID IT! Great job Novice Red!!!!!! After two tough playoff rounds the incredible Novice Red squad came out flying today and won the LMLL OMHA B Division Championship. The final score of the game was 4-1. I am one proud coach!!!
I cannot begin to say enough about the determination and effort put forth by each and every player this season. What a year! Our first tournament was in Strathroy at Christmas and we came home with a bronze, the next tournament was in Saginaw Michigan and we came home with gold after a tough battle with a Sault Ste Marie team and our final tournament in Parkhill was a great showing and lots of fun although we didn't bring home any hardware. Today was the big one baby!!! We beat the odds and brought home the Championship after defeating a strong Novice White team in 4 games.
Not only did we win the Championship...we were notified by Hockey Development Centre for Ontario (HDCO) that our team was selected to win prizes in the penalty free sweepstakes. In recognition for our penalty free games, each player is rewarded with Penalty Free Hockey Commemorative Wrist Bands along with coupons from Pizza Pizza.
Many thanks to Tracy Abbey for making the awesome cupcakes all the kids enjoyed after our win today! I want to thank all the bench staff for a great job this season and all the parents for your help and support in making the year such a huge success. It takes many hands to make a team click and with your help it happened in fine fashion this season!
Our sincere condolences with our thoughts and prayers go out to the Hern family after Rob Hern's father passed away this morning.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone together again next weekend at our team party!
Coach Pat
