March 24-30, 2025

I don't know how... but somehow we have arrived at the end of another ski season!!! This season went by WAY too quickly!!! Probably because of all the hard work you guys put into this season (and not the playing)... I cannot thank the coaches enough for keeping you all on track to skiing a fabulous season! You did great this year crew and I am so proud of you and all your hard work! Thank you athletes (and parents) for trusting us with your athletic goals this season, as always, it's been an honour! I am hoping to start roller skiing in May at some point and will send out teamsnaps when this happens. Athletes must be 12 years old before coming roller skiing with the team, but you sure can ride your bikes and get out that way too!
