The U9 Highland Storm Yellow Sharp Electric team had an incredible season, filled with growth, determination, and teamwork. It has been truly rewarding for the coaching staff and parents to watch each athlete develop their skills and confidence over the course of the year.
The team’s commitment to one another helped build strong defensive and offensive lines that became a key strength as the season progressed. On the defensive side, Jase Cox, Colton Guyatt, Connor Guyatt, Logan Nelson, and Brey Woodward worked tirelessly to protect their zone, showing grit, awareness, and strong teamwork.
Offensively, Zachary Collaci, Elliot Cybulski, Jackson Cybulski, Rhys Foster, Levi Kinghorn, Parker Shenton, Clayton Simms, and Logan Stancatti brought speed, quick thinking, and skill every game, creating scoring opportunities and keeping constant pressure on their
opponents. The passing improved, positioning became more disciplined, and the team’s overall awareness on the ice grew tremendously.
A special mention goes to our goalie, Wesley Cox, who was an absolute rockstar all season long. Time and time again, he came up with big saves in critical moments, giving the team confidence and keeping games within reach.
Our end of year tournament in Lindsay March 28-29 perfectly captured the spirit of this group. After a tough loss in the opening game, they battled hard and came out on top in the second game, with an exciting 6-5 win. They carried that momentum into the final game against our home town rivals, U9 Storm Blue Cottage Country Building Supplies. After tying the game 4-4, the team dugdeep in overtime and secured an unforgettable victory.
A huge thank you to our coaching staff, Stu Shenton, Kevin Nelson, Adam Guyatt, and Shawn Foster for all of their time and commitment to the kids this season. Special shout out to our team manager, Alyssa Kinghorn. This season would not have been such a huge success without Alyssa going above and beyond to make our season flow seamlessly, and to make all of the players feel special. And, lastly, a big thank you to our generous sponsor, Sharp Electric.
