8 MD Major Novice Blue, BB - B, 2015-2016, BB/B (Hamilton Huskies)

Hamilton Huskies Novice MD Blue are the Alliance East/Central 2015/2016 Tier 2 Novice Champions! With an impressive playoff run, Huskie Blue sealed their spot in the playdowns and advanced to the finals against a strong Woodstock team. Game 1 would see the home team, Huskie Blue, provide a strong team performance en route to a convincing game 1 win. On the road, game 2 proved to be a challenge as Woodstock came focused and ready to play. A come from behind tie by this never quit team, brought them within 1 point of their goal, heading back home for game 3.

Over the weekend Huskie Novice Blue participated in the 2016 Preston International tournament. After a very successful run in the Wayne Gretzky tournament that saw the kids go undefeated in a 16 team division only to lose in the finals, the team was eager to take a run at another tournament championship. With silver in both the Bob Stark and Wayne Gretzky tournaments, would the third time be the charm at Preston?

After much anticipation, Huskie Novice Blue travelled down the 401 for their first tournament of the season.  With the first round of the regular season successfully over, the team was eager to go away and play in their first tournament as Huskie Blue. Although the obvious goal is to win a championship, this tournament was more about forging new friendships and re-enforcing existing ones.

With a number of new players across all positions, the coaches were eager to see who would fit best together, and after a number of practices and skills sessions, the players were eager to simply play a game.
