Flyers off to great start to 20-21 season.
The 09 U13 Flyers played 6 hard fought games to reach the final and defeat the host Red Wings 4-1 for the tournament Championship. Outstanding performances from all the players and a smart game plan and strategy executed by a highly qualified and experience coaching staff ensured victory for the young Flyers team.
The 08 U14 and 07 U15 Flyers were also in the Red Wing Early Bird tournament. The 08-team won 2 and lost 2 and played with an incredible level of energy and perseverance. A real treat to watch. This team will be in the hunt at the end when it counts.
Our 07 U15 Flyers went undefeated in the round robin playing a highly disciplined game. They lost by 1 goal in the quarter final to a team they beat in the round robin. Clearly the U15 Flyers are the real deal and will challenge for a top spot in one of the most competitive U15 (Bantam) AAA groups in several years.
Our U11 and U12 teams were in the Marlie Friendship tournament which was played this year in a round robin format with a 6-game guarantee and no playoff rounds. The U11 team had 4 wins and 2 losses in what must be viewed as a solid start to the season.
The U12 team had 4 wins, 1 tie, and 1 3-2 loss that could have gone either way. The staff and players have set a high bar for themselves and now, in their third year with Flyers, the plan is to go very deep into the playoffs and bring home some hardware.
Lastly, our U18 and U16 Flyers were in the Sylvia Jacobs Memorial tournament hosted by the Markham Majors. The U18 team posted a 2 and 2 record and played with grit and determination. A real solid well coached group playing at an extremely high level in what will be a real ?dog fight? to the end for the twelve teams in the AAA U18 division.
The DMF U16 team had strong showing in its first tournament of the team?s draft year. Expectations are high and everyone is so focused, the hockey had to be good. The team won 3 and lost 1 heading into the quarter finals where they ran into the eventual tournament Champs.
Congratulations to all teams. Flyer Proud.
