Another hockey season has come and gone, and I could not be prouder to have been part of this group. It started with two towns who were long time foes and quickly became a unified solidarity that grew stronger as the season went on and defined the term “team.” Our kids deserve all the credit for making this year’s inaugural amalgamation a success. They realized that both Ajax and Pickering needed one another to field competitive teams. The coaches knew, early on, that this was a talented group that could achieve some special accomplishments throughout the year.

This 2022/23 U15A team is a unique bunch.  Hockey players from four different teams came together for the first time combining historical rivals from Ajax and Pickering.  After a 1-2-1 shaky start, they found their rhythm in the United States, winning the Cleveland Rock and Roll Tournament and soon after, the Bradford Black and Gold tournament.
