Silver Stick Success: Collingwood Teams Shine!
U11-U18 Collingwood Local League Teams
A huge shoutout to our U11 through U18 squads who competed in the Silver Stick
Tournament. Every team played with heart, dedication, and skill, and while some
teams came up short, the effort was incredible. Two teams will represent
Collingwood at the International Silver Stick Tournament in Pelham this
January! Thank you to our volunteers and families for making the tournament a
success.
U11 Collingwood Jr. Blues LL1
What a performance! The Jr. Blues LL1 team went 3-0 in Pool A and capped off
the tournament with a 4-0 win, securing their spot in the Pelham Internationals
in January. Huge congratulations to the entire team and coaching staff!
U13 Collingwood Jr. Blues LL1
The U13 boys fought hard to claim the Regional Silver Stick Championship, with
an undefeated record and a 3-0 shutout in the final. Congratulations on this
well-earned victory!
U15 & U18 Collingwood Jr. Blues
The U15 team showed true grit despite challenging results, and the U18 team
impressed with a strong pool play record and Silver medals in the end. Great
job to both teams for their hard work and determination!
