Minor Bantam, 2017-2018 (York-Simcoe Express)

Congrats to the Minor Bantam's on advancing last night to the OMHA Championships this weekend!  An amazing win in overtime against Oshawa who played a great game.  Very much deserved after a great regular season and playoff run.  It will be an exciting weekend for this team!  

The Minor Bantam team has been giving back to their community these last two weeks as they volunteered for the Salvation Army as part of their Christmas Kettle Program.  It was a great experience for the players as they got a chance to engage with the community and recognize the importance of giving back through this great program.  

On October 6, the Minor Bantam team wore green shirts for pre game warm up in support of World Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day.  The team chose to support CP in honour of their Team Motivator and Consultant Joe Boyer, who is there to support them at every game. The team presented Joe with his own shirt signed by all players.  Throughout the weekend at the Wendy Dufton Memorial tournament in London, the Minor Bantam's continued to wear their green shirts, green laces and green tape to support the awareness campaign.  

The Minor Bantam's got off to an amazing start this weekend in Ottawa at the Bell Sensplex AAA Shootout.  They went into the championship game undefeated with a record of 5-0.  They battled against Kingston in the finals and brought home the silver after a great game.  Congratulations Minor Bantam's on a great tournament and a fantastic start!

The Minor Bantam team has had a great week with plenty of ice, team building activities, and dryland training with Ezra from Total Man Development. Off to a great start!
