Bantam B gives back in December...while having a little FUN!!
The Bantam B Wolverines have been busy on and off the ice this month, working hard to play well at the rink as well as give their time to support our community. 

On Dec. 5th the girls jumped in to help out the New Hamburg Firebirds in their Annual Christmas Hamper Initiative.  The team helped to unload a truck full of gifts at the Old Barn and move them to categorized piles to later be added to the hamper boxes.  The boxes might have been one of the highlights of the evening, as they built a huge wall of boxes and had a blast "breaking down the wall".  See the link to our gallery below for a great series of action shots!!

We also participated in the Socks and Underwear drive promoted by the WGHA, bringing in and/or throwing on the ice over 200 pairs of socks and undies.  The association as a whole wrote  we "greatly exceed(ed) our goal and giving us a total of 3,480 pairs that have been donated to the Wilmot Family Resource Centre."  Great work to all Wolverines and thanks to our Bantam B parents for taking the time to help the girls bring these items in.

Finally, we were fortunate enough to attend the Kitchener Rangers Teddy Bear Toss Game on Dec. 11th where all the girls got to throw a teddy or two from the stands for a good cause.  It was a fun evening of pics, hockey, arena snacks, and just hanging out with the team.  The Rangers made it exciting by scoring with less than a minute to go in the third to tie it up 3-3.  Unfortunately, they fell short in overtime when the Oshawa Generals buried not long into the 3-on-3 battle.  But a great night was had by all!

The girls decided after giving back in and around Wilmot they'd like to give a little bit to each other, so Secret Santa goes down at practice on Dec. 27th...have fun and be creative girls!!

We finish out the month with a final game against Waterloo at home on Dec. 17th and few practices to keep the wheels going.  January starts with a bang as we travel to the 35th Annual Scarborough Sharks Annual New Year's Classic, Jan. 4-6.

Finally, a HUGE thanks to all our parents for their support in and out of the rink.  We know it's a busy time of year, but the girls are only able to do these activities with your time and effort to get them where they need to be...THANKS EVERYONE!

Merry Christmas from the Bantam B Wolverines Staff!
