Challengers Win GOLD at Nazim Kadri Tournament!!
What an exciting weekend for the U13 Challengers!
The Sarnia U13 house-league black team, made up of 2013 age players, took home GOLD at the Nazem Kadri tournament this weekend in London!
It was a whole team effort as everyone contributed and played with HUSTLE & HEART! The game play and compete level was turned up and the boys came ready to play! The Challengers went undefeated in round robin play, defeating the London Nationals 25, London Bandits 25 and West London Hawks 25. The semifinal match up saw the Challengers eliminate the London Bandits 15, setting up our gold medal match against London Nationals 15. The boys saved their best for last, shining offensively and defensively in a 4-0 shutout win for gold!
Stellar goaltending was provided all weekend by Gabe Kirkwood (two shutouts) while our defensive wall held the opponents to four goals in tournament play. Our offence scored thirty goals led by Nino Ioannis, Lucas Bennett and Cole Foster but it was a true TEAM effort. Many thanks to the coaching staff and our parents for their hard work and support of the team at our first tournament. It takes a village! I am excited to watch them continue to grow!
LET’S GO CHALLENGERS!
