The Pee Wee Team won the Kitchener Blueline Tournament recently, defeating North Bay 5-4 in a shoot-out in the semi-final game.  They went on to defeat Huron Perth 1-0 in the Championship game.  Justin Mladenoski scored the games only goal and Matthew Renaud earned the shutout.  Cam Pickersgill was named the game MVP.  Congratulations to Head Coach Doug Pickersgill, his staff and all the players on winning the Tournament!

The Atom Major Team led by Head Coach Rocco Tullio wanted to provide gifts to kids and families within the community and the charity “The Ones We Love” was in desperate need of gifts, so the team reached out to them with support and bought Christmas gifts for the kids diagnosed with cancer.  In addition, food coupons were provided as some parents are not able to work due to their circumstances. The team provided Santa support in giving out gifts to the kids.  It was a great experience and memory for everyone!!

The holiday season is quickly approaching and that usually means busy times for everyone.  The hockey season is running on all cylinders in league play and valuable tournament competition.   All teams are working hard and competing well in their endeavour for success.  The coaching staffs continue to prepare their respective teams in preparation for play downs.  I want to thank the coaching staffs for their continued commitment and the parents for supporting the players as they work toward achieving team goals.  I wish all players well with skill improvement and continued team success. 

I want to remind everyone the 2012 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge will take place in Windsor, December 29, 2011 to January 4, 2012.  Five Canadian entries (Atlantic, Ontario, Pacific, Quebec, West) will be joined by five international teams.  I encourage everyone to come out and take in some great hockey.  Please check the link below for further details.  

On behalf of the Windsor AAA Zone Board, I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday season and as always, safe travels to all out of town destinations.
