The Highland Storm U7 Initiation Timbits wrapped up a fantastic season filled with growth, energy, and plenty of smiles.
With a large roster of 35 young players, the group met every Tuesday and Sunday, rotating between the arenas in Minden, Haliburton, and Wilberforce.
Throughout the season, the Timbits worked hard developing their Hockey Canada fundamentals through a mix of obstacle courses, skill-building drills, games, and scrimmages.
Of course, there was no shortage of fun along the way, including occasional push-ups on the ice. Theimprovement from start to finish was clear across the board, with every player building confidence and advancing their skills.
A highlight for many was the year-end Glen Dart Tournament in Haliburton. The Timbits fielded two teams, giving players the chance to compete against friends in exciting half-ice games. The tournament showcased justhow far the group had come, with strong effort, teamwork, and plenty of enthusiasm on display.
There were lots of memorable moments, including standout offensive efforts from Callum Da Lanca and Dominic Dart, who not only found the back of the net on several occasions but also made a point of helping set up teammates for their very first goals. In net, Keon
Donaldson and Austin Hunt faced a high volume of shotsand rose to the challenge with some impressive saves.
Most importantly, the season ended with big smiles and alove for the game.
