PeeWee Minor AA, Travel Teams, 2016-2017 (LaSalle Minor Hockey Association)

Prior to last Saturday's game against the Southpoint Capitals at the Vollmer Center, Town of LaSalle Councillor and Military Liaison to the 2016-2017 Memorial Cup Michael Akpata shared the official Trophy.  The Memorial Cup dates back to 1919 and was originally dedicated in honour of the soldiers who died fighting for Canada in the First World War. It was rededicated during the 2010 tournament to honour all soldiers who died fighting for Canada in any conflict.  

A great weekend of hockey at the Essex Early Bird Tournament for the PeeWee Minor AA team.  With two ties and two wins, the team battled hard and showed their pride in being Sabres.    However, with a points system, the team lost out on a berth in the Finals on the fourth tie-breaker.  It was upsetting for the boys, but this is a resilient group and they will battle on.
