As the final whistle blew on the 2024-2025 season, the U15 The Pepper Mill Steak & Pasta House team capped off an impressive journey; one filled with remarkable achievements, hard-fought battles, and unforgettable moments. From the opening puck drop, to the last game of the season, this team showed heart, dedication, and a never-give-up attitude that made every game exciting.

But it wasn’t just individual performances that carried the team to success—it was the unity and teamwork. From the first line to the fourth, everyone contributed. Whether it was the defensemen clearing the crease or the forwards cycling the puck with precision, every player understood their role, and it showed on the ice. The team’s power play improved throughout the season, with timely goals coming from the most unexpected places.
The experience gained from the season, U13 Cheryl Smith Re/Max the growth of the players, and the resilience shown during every match have set the stage for even greater things next year.
