NorStar Novice Rep, U9 (2012), 2017-2018 (South Muskoka Minor Hockey Association)

On Sat. Dec. 30th, the team played the Muskoka Rock in Port Carling and the holiday hiatus didn’t seem to effect them as the team came together to handily secure a 5 – 1 win.   This victory was due in large part to the great teamwork exhibited by three of our forwards, Grayson C., Phenix C. and Charlie D.  Grayson C. picked up a hat trick and two assists; Phenix C. picked up a goal and 3 assists; and Charlie D. clocked in a goal and 3 assists.  Each of them played to the best of their ability.    They were quick on their feet, hustled and always looked for the opportunity – whether it was to ...

On Dec. 16/17, Wyatt G. picked up the honour of being the “Hardest Worker of the Game” and awarded the team hard hat in our game against Parry Sound. Wyatt played an impressive defensive game; he has amazing speed and ruined the Rock’s chances of scoring time after time.  Wyatt’s calm but determined attitude is a reflection of how focused he is on the ice.  Moreover, despite playing top shelf defensively, Wyatt took advantage of the opportunity to break out past the blue lines, with some rushes on the net.  These paid off as he carried it through, scoring a phenomenal goal in the 3rd period ...

On Dec. 9th, after a hard fought game against the Dundas Blues, Jack McG., our team captain, picked up the Hardest Worker of the Game award as well as picking up the title of “MVP” of game.  The Dundas Blues were strong but our team, lead by Jack, rose to the challenge. He was aggressive and “on” throughout the game and remained focused and determine. He never gave up and kept up his offensive attack throughout the game, taking advantage of every scoring opportunity.  Jack played strategically and exhibited great teamwork.  Jack’s hard work paid off as he scored the only goal of the game, ...

On Nov. 30th, 2017, after playing a hard fought game against the Huntsville Otters in Baysville, Grayden Z. picked up the distinguished “Hardest Worker of the Game” award, earning him the right to wear the team hard hat.   This was a tough game, with Huntsville coming out strong offensively.  However, Grayden was a force to be reckoned with throughout the game.  He thwarted those Otter forwards at every turn, not giving them an inch. Grayden was constantly in position, made some amazing steals and his passes were right on point.  It was Grayden’s determination and skill that kept this an ...

In this game, against the Oro-Thunder, hands-down the “Hardest Worker of the Game” was Grayson Cauley.  Throughout this very tough game, Grayson gave it all he had.  He was aggressive on the puck, kept his feet moving at lightning speed, kept the pressure on and didn’t give up.  He was a force to be reckoned with to the Thunder's defensive lines.  Consequently, Grayson was able to penetrate their net on two amazing plays, netting our only two goals and putting us on the scoreboard.  Congratulations Grayson!!
