A BIG kudos to our amazing players for working together so well all season, for being so respectful with each other, building each other up, developing as a team, showing great sportsmanship towards our referees and other teams, and for sticking to it when the going got tough. They are a really cool group of kiddos - some seriously sweet dudes with big hearts and some crazy hockey skills. We are so proud of each of them! 👏
A HUGE thanks to Head Coach, Jay Inwood, and his bench staff of Rob Blower, Bryan Schieck and Joel Cox. This was not their team by design but they stepped in halfway through the season and cared for it like it was their own. Hockey may not have even existed for these players this year without their support, leadership, and dedication - their level of commitment can not be understated. All such wonderfully supportive, selfless, fun and generous guys. 🙏 💚
Also, a special thanks to our goalie coach Tanner Emerson, our fitness trainer Mike Cooper, and our amazing practice assistant Jackson Kuhn for helping our boys develop and progress week after week. We were so lucky to have you alongside us 🙏
A big thank you to Chris Dumont and Kelly Hergaarden and the U18 Brokerlink Shamrocks for their support throughout the year and for helping to coordinate some wonderful events with our U15s both on and off the ice. This is one of the best parts about hockey - the coming together of different age groups to form bonds in sport and friendships for life!
Thank you also to Nelson Jay, Scotty Battle-Schell, Kirt Nelson, and Katelyn Jay. All awesome people who chose this team, provided a solid foundation for our players' development, and showed our kiddos the way forward. 💚
A big thank you to our parent group, our extended families and our fans for coming out to all our games and cheering us on. 📣 Thanks for supporting each other and finding the joy in our hockey this season. 🤩 And a shout out to the amazing hockey parents on this team who offered direct support and advice. You were the glue! 🙏
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Donald T. Ritchie Insurance Broker Ltd. for their ongoing support to our team and hockey community. 👏 As our official team sponsor, their financial contributions helped us acquire jerseys, attend tournaments, host other teams at our BOCC arena, and helped us represent our team when we were on the road. Dave Ritchie, Brian McLeod, and the rest of the staff at Ritchie Insurance are so community-focused, have cheered us on all year, and have graciously been a part of our local tournament awards ceremony. We are proud to wear their company name on our jerseys and our team could not exist without them! Thank you so much from all of us! ☘️💚
We would also like to thank our Other Sponsors who have made donations towards this team. We appreciate all your help!🏒 They include:
