Thank You Everyone
The 2023 Chedoke Winter Classic is in the books, and as the Tournament Director, I would like to thank a lot of people without whom this would have never happened.
From all the members of the organizing committee, to our dozens of volunteers who spent time out of their tournament selling raffle tickets and working the registration and Food Drive tables, to the 38 teams that participated in the Tournament.
From the officials and timekeepers who kept the games on-time and on-schedule, to all our suppliers and sponsors that ensured our giveaways, and awards were the best we have ever had.
Congratulations to all our Tournament Champions:
U11 - Dofasco Steelhawks
U12 - North London Nationals
U13 - MHMHA Blues
U14 - Brantford 99ers
U15 - MHMHA Blues
U16 - Guelph Jr. Gryphons
U18 - MHMHA Blues
A special note: The U15 MHMHA Blues became the first team in Winter Classic History to go undefeated, and not surrender a single goal in their 4 games, outscoring their opponents 26-0.
Groundwork for the 2024 Winter Classic will soon be started, using what we have learned this year to make the event even better next season.
A U10 Select division will be created for next season, and registration will open in June to allow for teams that are selected in the spring to register when they are considering tournaments to attend.
Thank you again to everyone that helped make the 2023 Chedoke Winter Classic a huge success.
