President’s Weekly Recap: RCFHA Regular Season Week 8 

Welcome back for the recap of Week 8 of the 2024/2025 season! Another fantastic weekend of games, goals, and community spirit at Burnett—and our last weekend before the Winter Break! Here’s a look at some of the highlights from Week 8: 

Junior Squirt Spotlight: A Wall in the Crease 

This week, Junior Squirt division goalie Kellan Labar caught everyone’s attention with his incredible saves and quick reflexes. Kellan showcased exceptional poise and talent, by commanding the crease with unwavering confidence. His standout performance was crucial in helping his team stay competitive in a hard-fought match, showing just how valuable he is between the pipes. 

Affiliate Hero: Rising to the Challenge 

A huge shoutout to Junior Squirt player Miles Pettersson, who was called up to play as an affiliate player goaltender for the Senior Squirt Screaming Chickens team in their match against the Mavericks. Despite the pressure, Miles rose to the occasion, making pivotal saves and showcasing resilience in net. It’s great to see some of our young talent stepping in and delivering big performances in older divisions—way to go, Miles! 

Celebrating a Milestone: A Goal to Remember 

One of the most heartwarming moments of the weekend came when Cayden Lekhi scored his very first goal! The entire gym and team erupted with cheers as teammates and fans celebrated this unforgettable achievement. Congratulations, Cayden—hopefully this is just the beginning of many more to come! 

Behind the Scenes: Balancing the Books, Building the League 

Let’s take a moment to appreciate Vincent Li, who wears two hats as both Registrar and Treasurer for the RCFHA. Vincent has been instrumental in managing our league’s finances and ensuring that we stay on budget while making the most of our registration fees and sponsorship money. Thanks to his diligence, we’re able to provide the best possible experience for our players and families. Your hard work behind the scenes does not go unnoticed, Vincent—thank you for everything you do for the RCFHA community. 

Looking Ahead 

Happy New Year to you all! We look forward to Week 9 starting right away on January 4 and 5. Please remember to keep in mind that Photo Day is coming up on January 12 between 9 am to 11 am. Check our website for the schedule for your team.
