The U15 Rep Haliburton Timber Mart team has come out of the gates this season proving they are a force to be reckoned with.

Coached by Kevin Lamplugh, Dylan Keefer, Michael Campbell and Andrew Dawson, the squad has shown an impressive balance of offensive firepower and defensive grit.

Throughout the Matt Duchene Fall Classic home tournament this past weekend, they outscored their opponents by a wide margin, with numerous players finding the back of the net and working well together as a unit.

With a combination of experienced returning players and new talent, the U15 roster is deep and versatile, capable of adjusting to various game situations and strategies.

Offensively, the team has been led by top linemates Vanek Logan, Jack Tomlinson and Reid McEathron, along with Brody Hartwig, Luke Gruppe and Brycen Harrison. Standing their ground and stepping up when needed are Cruize Neave, Lucas Vale and Hunter Hamilton.

Meanwhile, the defensive line has been rock-solid thanks to Zach Prentice, Matt Scheffee, Hudson Meyer, Levi Rowe, Leighton Nesbitt and Ethan Decarlo, who have displayed strong positioning, timely poke checks and a dedication to protecting their goalie. Blake Hutchinson has made some remarkable saves when called upon, providing a solid foundation at the back.

The team would like to thank parents, friends and fans for cheering loud and supporting this past weekend.

If the first few games are any indication, the U15 Rep team is on track for an exciting and successful season. Be sure to stop by and cheer at their next home game, this upcoming Friday, Nov. 1, 7 p.m. in Minden.
