From Two teams to Three - And Just Getting Started

January 21, 2026

Year two was always going to be about growth. Last season, our Winter roller hockey travel program took its first real steps, competing hard and learning what it meant to play at this level. In 2025, both teams finished an impressive 4th place, laying a strong foundation for the future.

Fast forward to 2026 - and that foundation is already paying off.

This season, the program has expanded from two teams to three, signs of both growth and belief. And right out of the gate, out teams made a statement on the international stage at NARCh Winternationals.

Our 18U team delivered a tournament to remember, battling all the way to Gold. The championship game came down to the wire, ending in a thrilling 6-5 Overtime win- the kind of moment every player dreams of, and one that showed the heart, resilience, and chemistry this group has built. 

Not to be outdone, the 14U team put together an incredible run of their own, earning Silver after a hard-fought final. A 1-0 loss in the championship game proved just how tight the competition was, and how close this team is to the top. Their effort, discipline, and determination turned heads all weekend. 

And the journey isn't over.

Our 16U team is gearing up for their tournament at Winter Wars, taking place February 20-22. With Momentum already rolling through the program, all eyes are on what they'll bring to the rink. 

This year also marks an exciting milestone off the rink - we're pround to welcome Rinkster as our official equipment sponsor. Their support helps our players look their best with great quality equipment, while pushing towards their goal. 

From learning seasons to podium finishes, from two teams to three, and now with a stronger partner by our side, 2026 is already showing when hard work meets belief. This group isn't just chasing wins- they're building something special.
