Frontenac Flyers Will Go To On Provincial Championship

Continuing a decade of hockey excellence, once again Frontenac Minor Hockey is sending one of its teams to the OMHA Provincial Championship.

On Wednesday March 8, the U13 Rep Team capped off a great season with a big playoff win against Napanee. With this win the Flyers secured a berth into the 8-team provincial tourney.

The start of the game was more than a bit rough for the Flyers, as Napanee scored four early goals. A quick time out, and some calm reassuring words from Coach Troy Stubinski set the tone for a remarkable comeback.

By the start of the 3rd period, the Flyers had regained the lead and never looked back, winning the game 6-4. It was a gutsy and resilient effort by these 11- and 12-yearold players.

This was just the latest victory for this team. They currently have a 29 Win and 5 Loss record, were finalists in the international Silver Stick, and won the Cornwall Winterfest Tourney. Coach Stubinski gives all the credit to the positive attitude and hard-working mentality of the team.

“These are remarkable young athletes who have worked incredibly hard for the past 6 months. They put in the time and effort every single week. I couldn’t be prouder”.

Stubinski also acknowledged the work of Frontenac Minor Hockey.

“Our community is incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated group of volunteers organizing community hockey. Their long-term focus on development has been instrumental for all of our team’s success”.

The team will be travelling to Barrie over the Easter
