U11 AA/A Brantford 99ers

That’s a wrap on the U11AA Brantford 99ers 2025-2026 season. 🥅🏒

From the first puck drop to the final buzzer (or the final team party) this group of talented boys showed what it means to compete, support each other, grow, face challenges and never give up. Wins, losses, tournaments, and everything in between — the effort and energy never wavered.

We’re all so proud of the work, the growth, and the character each of you have shown this season. A HUGE thank you goes out to our players, coaches, team manager, treasurer, families, and supporters who were with us every step of the way. We cannot thank you enough for your dedication, support, encouragement and care throughout the season.

The season may be over, but the memories made and the moments shared with laughter, in celebration, and even those that ended in tears only brought this team closer together and they will be treasured always.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wishing our boys the best of luck on their individual tryout journeys for next season - you got this!
