What a ride!
Alliance MD Bantam Tier 2 Champs!  Has a nice ring to it.

We went undefeated in Stratford and a clutch overtime goal in the final sealed the deal for a very deserving group of players.  An amazing season in where our squad finished off with just ONE loss in our last 19 games.  This truly was a special group of players I had the privilege to coach and mentor this season.

This team was one that was built on the foundation of RESPECT from day one.  As a coaching staff we demanded it, from the players perspective it was a two way street and they deserved it from us as well.

Everyone gave it their all.  Every shift.  This group was like a family and their play showed it.

To sum it up...
  • We won  the Ace Bailey Tournament in Stoney Creek in October
  • A gut wrenching 12 round shootout loss vs Single A Peterborough in the Ottawa tournament Semi-final in November
  • An loss in OT on a terrible bounce in the London Tournament final in January
  • Won the East/Central MD Tier 2 League going 9-1 in playoffs
  • Defeated Hamilton then Brantford in playdowns to earn Alliance East/Central Tier 2 Championship
  • Went undefeated in Stratford to capture BANTAM MD ALLIANCE TIER 2 CHAMPIONSHIP!

Four banners that will hang in Waterloo that our players can look up to in future and remember what they were a part of.

Thanks to the entire team!  It was a great season with lots of memories and events too numerous to mention!

Coach Craig
