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!
