What a great start to the hockey season for the Minor Novice Forest City team! They participated in the Bob Stark tournament this past weekend and went all the way to the finals. They lost to a very strong Waterloo team that had gone undefeated in the tournament. Oakridge lost their first 2 games on Saturday to Brantford and Waterloo but they did not give up. On Sunday, they came out very strong to beat North London and SSE, who they had not won against in regular season play. On to the finals they went, only to succumb to a defeat against Waterloo. Our team started out 2 months ago with 9 players who came out for try-outs but with some great recruiting and development, retained enough players to put in a team in the Forest City league.  These 7 year olds put their heart and soul on the line to perform extremely well for their first ever tournament.

Many thanks and credit goes out to the coaches, Dave Peach, Bob Caron, and Mark Reeves, for their perseverance, encouragement and instilling confidence in all of these young hockey players.

Team players are Nick, Deklan, Maddy, Drew, Taylor, Marc, Tim, Isaak, Jeffrey, Will, William,  Josh, Jack, and Aidan. 
Well done kids!
