Ice Raiders families,

Our Competitive Under 10 “AA” Team led by coaches Jason George, Dustin Wood and Brett Burke capped off an incredible season this past weekend.  On Saturday the team became the GTHL Eastern division playoff champions with an epic 4-3 double OT win against North Toronto.  On Sunday the team played for the GTHL playoff championship against the Mississauga Beast at Scotiabank Pond.   Unfortunately after a hard-fought battle the team  was on the wrong side of a 4-2 score. 

During the season team also won the coveted GTHL Pro Hockey Life Cup championship, won the Whitby Silverstick regional championship and finished as the 3rd ranked team in the province.

The organization would like to congratulate the coaches and players for a tremendous season of continued development and on ice accomplishments.

Sincerely,
Ed Wahl

On Sunday April 24, 2022 the Scarborough Ice Raiders Select team became the U11 Tier 3 Champions. Although winning any game or championship always brings a great sense of pride, this accomplishment was engrained with determination and the underlined value of working together as a team to overcome hardships.

When the team was rostered in the fall and began playing competitively against other teams, they faced several defeats but continued to work hard to develop and refine their skills. The team’s first taste of victory did not come until late fall but was embraced with such joy and pride by all the players, coaches, and parents.

As life would have it, the team faced an incredible hardship in the spring when they unexpectedly lost their Head Coach Kyle Liberty.  Many of these young players had never felt loss in their lives thus far and were faced with the decision that comes with grieving; to give up or push forward. In true Ice Raider fashion, the team decided to work even harder and dedicate their successes of the season to Coach Kyle. With the commitment of the coaches (Lewis Bouzi, Shane McDonough, and Greg Donaldson) and the parents (on and off the ice), the team continued to train and play cohesively. The result was an undefeated record and the completion of the Playoff Round Robin at the top of their tier with a 4-0-1 standing and a win in the semi-finals against Avenue Road.

In the Championship Finals the team faced a tough Victoria Village team as their opponents and defeated them in both final games resulting in them becoming the U11 Select Champions!

The journey this team took to reach their goal will forever be a tribute to the importance of being part of a hockey family. Although this season ended as an ultimate success story, it also held an underlined life lesson that these young players will take with them throughout their lives:  It is only when hard work and perseverance are paired with unity in the face of adversity that all things are genuinely possible.

Congratulations to The Scarborough Ice Raiders U11 Select Champions!!

Hello Everyone,

Our Competitive Under 13 “AA” Team lead by Coach Kyle Baker and Staff became the Pro Hockey Life Cup Champions earlier this month. Unfortunately, after a hard-fought battle last night at Scotiabank Pond they fell 2 – 1 to a strong Mississauga Beast Team.

We would like to take the time to Congratulate Kyle, his Staff and certainly the players for a tremendous season and the accomplishments achieved during this very trying and confusing time. 


Sincerely,

Annual General Meeting

The S.H.A. Hockey Club's annual general meeting will be held on:

Tuesday June 21, 2022
7:30 PM

Don Montgomery Community Centre
Activity Room

It is with heavy hearts that our hockey community must say goodbye to one of our Greats, Kyle Liberty. Kyle affectionately known as “Coach Kyle” passed on March 1, 2022. This year, Kyle was the Head Coach for the Scarborough Ice Raiders U11 Select Hockey team and the Silver “Superstars” House League team. Under Kyle’s guidance, his record was a perfect 2-0 in the U11 Select playoffs and left an undefeated record of 9-0-1 within the house league.

He has devoted his life to coaching, mentoring, and inspiring our children to become better hockey players and even better citizens of our world. If you have had the privilege to have played for, worked with, or simply talked hockey with Kyle; you truly know the incredible person that he was. His energy, constant positive dialogue, encouragement, and his passion for the children is an inspiration to all of us. Kyle had a unique ability to make each child that he crossed paths with feel like they were incredibly special, that their skill set was so imperative to the success of the team and that each of them were destined for greatness.

He believed in each and everyone of “his kids” and loved them just as equally. Kyle was one of a kind and truly loved by all. His loss is not only felt within our hockey world but also within the world itself. He leaves us with an amazing legacy that will always remind us to approach life through a positive lens, to treat each child like the special treasure that they are, and to always remember that the values needed to skate through life can all be learned at the hockey arena.

This past weekend our U10AA team won the Gloria Rints Memorial Silver Stick tournament regional qualifier in Whitby.  The team went 4-0 in the round robin, beating strong teams from Kingston, Gloucester, Oshawa and Peterborough.
 
In the semi final the team battled hard against a very good Whitby Wildcats team earning a birth in the final.  The finals featured the AAA ranked Gloucester Rangers Green. Our Ice Raiders battled hard and played a great game behind a big goal by William George and a huge Shut out by Ronin Scott and came out with the 1-0 victory.  The team have now won a position in the international Silver Stick finals in January!   

Congratulations and best of luck at the finals!!!
