‘Incredible season’ filled with milestones for South Bruce U15 Girls’ Rep team

SOUTH BRUCE – The South Bruce U15 girls’ hockey team has wrapped up a truly remarkable season filled with milestones, memories, and achievements that made history for the program, team officials state.
After progressing from a house league team to competing in their very first season at the Rep level, “the girls showed just how far passion, teamwork, and determination can take you,” states a press release from the team.
Over “42 exciting games,” the team compiled an outstanding record of 28 wins, 12 losses, and 2 ties. They scored a total of 104 goals while allowing just 41 — less than one goal per game — “a testament to their hard work on both sides of the puck.”
Among their many highlights, the team captured the championship at their first-ever entry into the prestigious Pink on the Rink tournament. They didn’t stop there — the team went on to win their first OWHA playdowns, claiming the Region ‘V’ title, defeated two local arch-rivals and were ultimately crowned U15 Overall WOAA Champions. To top it off, they delivered a strong showing at their first OWHA Provincial Championship, proudly representing their community on the provincial stage.
‘Incredible journey’
“The team’s incredible journey was made possible by the unwavering support of their families, friends, and the broader community,” team officials state, noting “special thanks” go out to Harley’s Pub & Perk, the Mildmay Optimist Club, Trillium Mutual, Pete Inglis, Councillor Jeff Goetz, and all the families and friends who contributed to the fundraising efforts that “helped make the dream of competing at the OWHA Provincials a reality.”
Thanks were also offered to the “dedicated bench staff: Shawn, Jim, Vicky, and Holly — for their leadership and commitment to the players’ growth, and to the parent group for their tireless support throughout the season.
“Most of all, congratulations to this outstanding group of athletes who approached each day with the right attitude, the right effort, and a relentless desire to improve. Your hard work and spirit have made your community proud.
“We salute you!”
