The U9 LL Wilmot Wolverines team played in their first full ice tournament this past weekend, at the Oakville Survive the Hive Tournament. Our girls finished in 2nd place out a large 20 team pool, securing a silver medal.
The Wolverines got off to a strong start, going undefeated (3-0) in the round robin play. This secured a spot in the quarter finals against one of the host teams, where our girls pulled off an amazing win yet again.
Next, the girls faced the tough and skilled Lucan Irish team in a semi-final, that saw our girls leave it all out there in another hard-fought battle to come from behind and win 2-1.
In the finals, the Wolverines knew it would be a tough game having to face the undefeated London Wolves, who only allowed 3 goals against them all tournament leading up to the finals. The Wolverines were undefeated themselves at this point. Both teams knew it would be a good Championship final. The girls found another gear but came up short of earning the gold medal along with a banner to hang at our home arena. Congratulations to the Wolves on the win and a hard-fought game by both teams.
This special group of girls put on an amazing display of grit, perseverance and determination. The smiles/laughs all weekend and the fun had, was a true testament to the hard work the girls and coaching staff of U9 LL Wolverines team put in leading up to this weekend.
Thank you to our Coaches and team staff for helping lead the team to our first hardware in the 2024/25 season. The support from the cheering parents and the fun atmosphere throughout the weekend was just the icing on the cake. Congratulations again to the U9 LL girls! Let’s go Wolverines, Let’s Go!
