🏒 HYHA 10U GIRLS 🐉

This Sunday, our 10U Girls team capped off an unforgettable year by battling to the championship game of the CGHL tournament!

Starting the season with a talented but diverse mix of players and skill levels, these young athletes showed true grit and heart. They grew together on and off the ice—building chemistry, sharpening skills, supporting one another through every shift, and turning into a real team.

What a ride. What a team. And what a bright, exciting future ahead for these rising stars!

A huge thank you to our dedicated Mite coaches for their time, energy, and guidance! We’re excited to watch our athletes continue developing in the seasons ahead.
