This past weekend our YSE U16 team competed in the OMHA Championship Tournament held in Peterborough. They completed the round robin 2-1 and secured a spot in the semifinals. The U16's defeated Niagara 3-1, moving them onto the finals. In a hard fought match-up versus the Credit River Capitals for the coveted #Redhats, the team unfortunately came up short 4-2 including an empty net goal.
Making it to the OMHA finals was a goal set at the beginning of the year. The team has earned an automatic birth in the OHL Cup which will feature 25 of the best teams from North America eligible for the OHL draft.
From Coach Ilir. "It's amazing what a group can accomplish when there's no personal agendas, no ego's which could occur on any team. This group was special. A group that collectively worked together for a TEAM goal, got along so well and cheered for each other like I've never seen in all my years coaching. These boys will always hold a special place in my heart!"
