President’s Weekly Recap: Tournament Weekend 2

President’s Weekly Recap: RCFHA Tournament Weekend 2 – THE GRAND FINALE

The final weekend of the RCFHA Tournament has wrapped up, and what an incredible way to close out the season! A huge thank you to all players, coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who made this year’s tournament a true celebration of our community and love for the game. Here’s a look at some of the highlights from Tournament Weekend 2:

Weekend 2 – Brackets, Battles & Buzzer Beaters!

Weekend 2 saw intense action across all divisions, with teams pushing through the brackets and others finishing their seasons with pride and heart. The energy in the gyms was electric as every pass, block, and goal meant everything.

In the end, we were treated to some thrilling finishes! Three out of six divisions ended their finals with nail-biting one-goal games. The PeeWee division gave us a dramatic overtime finish that had fans on the edge of their seats, while Senior Squirt also delivered late-game fireworks that won’t soon be forgotten!

Celebrating Our League Leaders

Let’s also recognize some outstanding individuals for their contributions this season:

  • Most Improved Referee: Ziv Greenberg – A model of growth, development, and consistent improvement throughout the season, showing great dedication and a real desire to self-improvement. Congratulations Ziv!
  • Marcel Doucet Scholarship Award Recipients: Noam Knurik & Noah Murray – True leaders, both on the floor and in our community. Combined, these two provided over 400 hours of service over the past 3 to 4 years. They are dedicated volunteers who are still in high school, yet still have the drive and want to volunteer with us! Congratulations to both!

A Special Thank You to FeelBetta Fitness!

We’d also like to give a huge shoutout to our major Platinum sponsor, Nathan Wong from FeelBetta Fitness, who attended our tournament, as both a player and a sponsor, and showed incredible support for our league. Thank you, Nathan, for helping us continue to grow and thrive as a community. We couldn’t do this without partners like you! Visit feelbetta.ca for more information.

The Grand Finale

As medals were handed out and trophies lifted, it was clear that this season wasn’t just about winning, but about the journey, the friendships, and the memories created along the way. Thank you all for making this tournament—and this season—one to remember. As you all saw during the Awards Ceremony, our Association continues to grow, and that will continue to be our goal!

Remember, registration for the 2025/2026 season is open now! We want to continue to our progress and growth from the 2024/2025 season. Help us plan early for the next season by signing up as soon as possible. Visit our website for more information!

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading these recaps as much as I have enjoyed writing them. I love shouting out different players, coaches, parents, referees, and volunteers of our Association, and can’t wait to continue it next season!

Until next season! Cheers!

President’s Weekly Recap: Tournament Weekend 1

President’s Weekly Recap: RCFHA Tournament Weekend 1

Welcome! We are back, but now recapping a very exciting, yet hectic weekend of play during the 2024-2025 RCFHA Tournament Weekend 1! Tournament Weekend 1 started off with a bang with very competitive games with all teams in the hunt, and what a fantastic start it was! A big thank you to everyone—players, coaches, referees, volunteers, and families—for making it such a success. Here’s a look at some of the highlights from Tournament Weekend 1:

Errington Elementary: Snacks, Swag & the Balloon Archway to Glory

The Mites, Junior Squirt, and Senior Squirt divisions brought the energy and excitement to Errington Elementary School. It was great to see so many kids playing hard and having fun, while also showing great sportsmanship throughout the day.

Errington was buzzing beyond just the games, as we also hosted the Events portion of the Tournament there. Between the busy concession, RCFHA merchandise table, raffle prizes, and of course, our infamous balloon arch, there was something for everyone. The atmosphere felt like a true community event, and it was amazing to see families and friends gathering, enjoying the (albeit it small) space, and creating memories. A huge thank you to all the volunteers from every team who signed up to help run our tables. Your support played a massive role in keeping everything running smoothly and creating such a welcoming environment for all.

One fun highlight was how many kids were curious about what was happening at Burnett with the older divisions. In true RCFHA fashion, we made it happen—connecting the livestream from Burnett straight to the TV at Errington! Watching everyone crowd around to check in on the action at the other venue was a special moment and really brought both locations together. A special shoutout goes to Amas Tsui, who seemed to be our most dedicated scout! Every chance he got, Amas would come up, say hi, and check in on what was going on at Burnett. He’s a friendly and thoughtful kid, and it was great to see him showing so much enthusiasm—not to mention, he’s also a fantastic player and teammate on the floor.

Burnett Brings the Heat

Meanwhile, over at Burnett, the PeeWee, Bantam, and Adult divisions were delivering some high-level competition of their own. PeeWee and Bantam teams enjoyed the luxury of a double-elimination format, but you wouldn’t know it by how fiercely they competed in their Round Robins. Every point, every game mattered and the intensity on the floor reflected that. For the divisions operating under the single-elimination format, the stakes were even higher. Teams knew that Round Robin results were critical, and as a result, we saw players giving it their absolute all in every shift, every period. The passion, teamwork, and dedication shown were outstanding across the board.

Avengers, Assemble… and Surprise Everyone!

A huge shoutout to the entire Avengers team, including players, coaches, and parents. They were incredibly supportive of one another and turned in a performance that outpaced their Regular Season standings. The confidence and belief they showed on and off the floor were amazing to witness—exactly the kind of heart we love to see at tournament time!

The Crashouts Crash Through!

And a special nod to Brendan Zhan and Zamaan Meralli of the Bantam Crashouts team, who stepped up big when it mattered most. Their efforts helped propel the team into the second weekend of play, and were just overall very exciting to watch with their teamwork and ability to generate plays out of nowhere!

Looking Ahead: Our Final Weekend of the Season!

Thank you once again for making Tournament Weekend 1 so memorable. Let’s carry that same energy into Tournament Weekend 2 as we wrap up the tournament across all divisions! Championship Weekend is just around the corner—medals, trophies, and bragging rights are on the line! Let’s finish strong, but with class and sportsmanship!

Cheers!
