On November 11-13, the U11 Frontenac Flyers Rep Team travelled to Pembroke for the Silver Stick Regional tournament where they competed against 10 teams from across Eastern Ontario. The Flyers relied on a team-first approach and utilized their speed on offense, disciplined defensive play, and steady goaltending to earn a spot in the finals. After going undefeated in round robin play, the Flyers found themselves down 1-0 in the championship game after two periods to the defensively strong Gananoque Flames. The Flyers lived up to their name and came out flying in the third. They were resolute in their pursuit of the championship, scoring 4 goals within 8 minutes. As the seconds ticked away and the horn sounded, gloves and sticks littered the ice as the team emptied the bench and celebrated their hard fought 4-2 victory. A tip of the hat from the Frontenac Flyers to the Gananoque Flames for a great game!
The Flyers are led by a committed and knowledgeable bench staff with Head Coach Mike Chiasson, Chad Gray, Paul Mazzeo, and Dale Sager.
The Team would like to thank all of their sponsors for their generosity and the amazing Frontenac community for their ongoing support.
As Eastern Ontario Champions for U11 C centres, the team will be travelling to Forest, Ontario for the International Silver Stick Finals in January where they’ll face other U11 C teams from across the province and the United States. The players and coaching staff are excited and proud to represent Frontenac County in the next chapter of the International Silver Stick tournament. GO FLYERS!
