U11 International Silver Stick Finalist
This small but determined group of 10 skaters and one goaltender showed incredible grit and teamwork on their journey to the championship final. With relentless effort, heart, and a true passion for the game, the team battled through elite competition before falling in the final to the Empire Hockey Club of California, Ontario, USA.


The International Silver Stick Tournament, held in Pelham, Ontario from January 8–11, brought together top teams from across North America. More than 80 teams competed across multiple divisions, with only a select group earning the right to participate at this high level after finishing at the top of their regional Silver Stick qualifiers.Reaching the finals on such a prestigious stage is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the hard work and dedication put in all season long. 
A huge congratulations goes out to the players, coaching staff, families, and everyone who supported the team along the way—an accomplishment to be proud of both on and off the ice.
