On Sunday, October 2nd Coach Wayne and Coach Chris attended the Three County League scheduling meeting in Oakwood and organized our games for the first half of the season.
Originally we were going to schedule 7 home and 7 away games with the 7 other teams between now and December 17th, but while at the meeting we found out that Woodville did not have a PeeWee LL team which lowered our number of games down to 6.
The goal is to have around 9 home and 9 away games. This fits easiest into the 11 week schedule, so some additional game ice has been given to our team to arrange the extra games. We are trying to arrange those games with the other centers, so you can expect a few changes to our schedule over the next couple of weeks. Our Tuesday practice times are not expected to change.
We are not planning on playing any games over the Thanksgiving weekend, we do have a practice this Friday at 5:30pm - 6:30pm at Canlan; please update teamsnap with your attendance status.
Currently our first game will be against Millbrook on Friday, October 14th, 6:45pm at the Iroquois arena pad 2. Our team website is updates with the 6 home and away games, and more will show up over the next week or so. I will be updating teamsnap this week with the current schedule.
Three County decided to tier our division, our team is the Crusaders Tier 2 team. Not all centers had enough players to create a tier 1 and tier 2 team. The decision was made to move the centers with only 1 team into the lower tier division. There are two of these teams, Brock & Kawartha. There will likely be a re-balancing of the divisions for the second half of the year.
Teams in our loop will be:
Millbrook Stars 2
Lindsay Muskies White
Brock Township Wild
Kawartha Coyotes
Sturgeon Lake Thunder White
Mariposa Lightning White
