Thank You to All of our Coach Volunteers

By |2022-12-07T02:46:41-05:00April 27th, 2022|

As another sports season wraps up, we’d like to take a minute to marvel at the wonder that is the volunteer youth hockey coach. By the time parents finish the train-wreck that is dressing and fully equipping their kids for every practice and game each week, they are pretty excited to send their player(s) out on the ice.  But the coaches? They feed, dress and prep their own kid(s) and then spend the next hour or two with ten to fourteen more! Once the players finally arrive at the rink (late, probably—we’re so sorry, they really tried), the kids truly [...]

Presenting our A and Gold Division Champions

By |2022-12-07T02:46:41-05:00April 21st, 2022|

What a hockey season!  The pandemic has forced several changes to behaviour and routine, some for the better. Families spent more time together and people slowed down. Working remotely has become the reality for many people, and advancements such as Zoom have proven to be game-changers.  If something good is to come out of this pandemic hockey-wise, it was that we as an organization survived due to the overwhelming dedication of our Coaches and Volunteers. Our outstanding group of Coaches and Volunteers continued to develop our Players against imposing odds, adapting quickly and effectively to the constantly changing environment.  There [...]

U14 Blue Win MHL Division Championship!

By |2022-12-07T02:46:41-05:00April 18th, 2022|

After a rough start to the 2021-2022 season the boys of 093 came together and were able to lift the trophy as champions!  Entering the playoffs the boys were on a roll and embraced the game plan of unselfish hockey. This was evident as every single player recorded a point during the playoffs and 4 players recorded their 1st  ever hat trick. The Team went undefeated during the playoffs and they entered the gold medal game against Erindale. A seesaw battle ensued and the game remained scoreless until 3 minutes remaining in the game. A tape to tape pass and [...]

U18 Red Win MHL Division Championship!

By |2022-12-07T02:46:41-05:00April 18th, 2022|

This past weekend wrapped up an incredible year of hockey and for most an end to their minor hockey career. The Dragons Team 114 (U18) had a tough year due to Covid (as did everyone), but overcame all obstacles and finished 1st in the regular season, 1st in the round robin and won an exciting semi final in a shootout and the final with 4.1 seconds left. This team is special as the majority of these young men have all played on this team for over 10 years (as well as the coaching staff) and many could have played at [...]

U11 White Win MHL Division Championship!

By |2022-12-07T02:46:41-05:00April 7th, 2022|

From lemons to lemonade!   Last weekend, the Heartland Dragons won the U11 White MHL championship team by beating #1 seed George Bell 3-0 in an action packed final.   During the year this team overcame much adversity including losing its first 7 games in a row, being dropped a division, playing with a short roster, and a new head coaching change mid season.    However, this resilient group banded together and would only lose 2 games from December all the way to their championship run last weekend.    Along the way they also captured the title at the Kevin Fegan Memorial [...]
