Flyers announce partnership with Panthers
LEAMINGTON — The Leamington Flyers recently announced a new partnership with the Sun County Panthers AAA minor hockey organization. The partnership is another step in what has been a blossoming relationship between the two programs and it creates a pipeline for young players in the area who are
looking for development experience throughout their hockey careers. By entering into this agreement, the Flyers and Panthers are equally committed to attracting and retaining top athletes throughout Essex County and beyond. “The Flyers are committed to developing young, local players as it only leads to great things
for our organization,” said Flyers’ General Manager Justin Solcz. “The
more local players we assist with development, the better our teams will
be in the future.” Sun County President Ryan Coristine agrees. “We are committed to both player and coach development, and assisting both groups in movement beyond minor hockey,” said Coristine. “This type of relationship further enhances the potential for those opportunities, and we’re excited to be a part of it.”
Eight Sun County graduates are currently on the Flyers’ roster: Koen Taves, Ryan MacPherson, Connor MacPherson, Connor McCracken, Nolan McKibbin, Boe Piroski, Seth Martineau and Colton O’Brien. The Flyers return to the ice tonight (Feb. 2) in London then back home to host the Maroons in Leamington on Thursday.
