Minor Bantam, 2014-2015, AE (Whitby Minor Hockey)

As his dad says, when #17 does something he does it right.  On Saturday Craig ended up with a broken leg during our quarter final game.  The team fought back to win the game in his honour. The team has decided to support Craig by wearing his signature orange toque.  We wish Craig a speedy recovery.

The Minor Bantam AE team beat Oshawa 3 games to close out the series of the 2nd round of the OMHA playdowns.  The team faces Peterborough in the OMHA Quarter Finals (and Lakeshore Finals) beginning Feb 14th.  Good Luck team!!

With 2 games remaining the regular season schedule, the Wildcat Minor Bantam AE team secured first place with a 6-3 win over the Ajax Knights.  The team had a great first half of the season with a 16-3-3 record with 2 games remaining this weekend.  In 5 tournaments the team won 3 championships and made it to the finals in the other 2.  The team is practicing hard and looking forward to good competition in the OMHA championship playdown series.
