Letter to Parents and Participants
As I start to write this message to our families in the S.H.A. Hockey Club (Scarborough Ice Raiders), for the first time, I do not know where to begin. The City of Toronto has asked the Province of Ontario to pass a "no board order" meaning the City now has the ability to "lock out" the employees of the city or the unions involved have the ability to go on strike.
What this means to our program is simply this: if either of these two options occurs, the program will not be able to continue as we have in the past. We would have no option other than to suspend the playing season until a resolution is found and the employees return to work. If this were to continue until the season ends, the remaining portion of the program would be lost.
Bantam Tournament Win
Scarborough Ice Raiders Bantam team wins Gold in Montreal, Quebec
December 2nd to 4th, 2011
The boys played great in all games! It was the first time in 2 years we beat the Goulding Park Rangers. In the final game we jumped out to a 2-0 lead early in the first period. Goulding Park scored before then end of the first and after that the game went back and fourth but no goals were scored. We got a penalty with only 1:52 left in the game......hearts were pounding but the boys managed to hold them off even when it went 6 players against 4.
We are so proud of how our boys played as a team......amazing team effort!!
Game Recap:
Game 1 - Lost 3-2
Game 2 - Won 15-1
Game 3 - Won 6-0
Finals - Won 2-1 against Goulding Park Rangers
