The Highland Storm U7 Blue GJ Burtch Construction team celebrated the end of a fantastic season with an end-of-year family skate and pizza party before their final game March 22.
It was a great way to cap off a stellar seven months of hockey with a great group of kids.
Each player clearly grew and developed their skills thanks to the patience and dedication of a fantastic coaching staff. Head coach Matt and assistant coaches Jeremy, Brad and Stu brought out the best in each skater, emphasizing fun while strengthening skills to keep the kids engaged and motivated.
The improvement in each player’s skating, shooting, passing and hockey sense from the beginning of the season to now is remarkable. The team dominated their competition all year, working hard and seeing their many hours of practice pay off.
The season was highlighted by some amazing performances by goaltender Parker Neville, who showed really impressive concentration and commitment to protecting his net whether he saw 10 shots or 100 in a game.
Another highlight was the seemingly endless goals from our forwards, who approached double-digit points in game after game, and our excellent defence who worked hard to keep the puck out of our end and away from our goalie.
The entire team worked so well together, showing dedication and determination in practices and games. The coaching staff would like to thank the parents for their support helping their players bring their best on and off the ice.
It’s been a magnificent season of hockey – looking forward to 2025-2026.
