The Wolfpack Bantam LL1 headed south of the border for the 47th Annual Gene Harrington Falls Classic held in Niagara Falls New York. The adventure started with a solid 5-3 victory at the outdoor Riverside twin rink complex and set the stage for a great weekend of hockey. In game 2 the team built on the earlier success in a close battle and came away with a 2-1 win.

The team has started off the season with a solid effort by all and big 8-2 win over the Simcoe Warriors 2 team. Our players were pumped and ready before the game and brought their great energy to the ice peppering a resilient Simcoe goalie with 61 shots. Cam T found a way past the netminder for a hattrick and Adam J was right on his heels with 2 of his own. Hayden S, Dallas M, and Jack C contributed a goal each with assists
