Congratulations Ashley Petersen (Ashley ) for being recognized as a top performer at last weekend’s CNIT Tournament.

ASHLEY PETERSEN — 2026 | 5’4” PG/SG | HOOPSTARS

Ashley Petersen proved to be one of the most complete guards at the tournament, impacting the game in several ways whenever she stepped onto the floor.

A confident perimeter shooter, Petersen consistently stretched the defence with her ability to knock down the three-ball. She also had a knack for delivering timely baskets during important stretches of games.

Her court vision and basketball IQ stood out throughout the weekend. Petersen patiently read the defence, made sound decisions and consistently found open teammates in scoring positions.

Her unselfish approach, shot-making ability and poise under pressure made her a steady offensive leader and a difficult guard for opponents to contain.

Notable Performances:

vs. LYNX: 18 points, two rebounds and one assist
vs. Next Up Hoops: 13 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals

Congratulations Sarah Fortier (Sarah Fortier ) for being recognized as a top performer in last weekend’s CNIT Tournament.

SARAH FORTIER —2027 | 5’10” G/F | HOOPSTARS

Sarah Fortier was an offensive nightmare for opposing defences throughout the tournament, reaching double figures in every game and consistently finding ways to put points on the board.

With her combination of size, length and athleticism, Fortier ran the floor exceptionally well, filled the lanes in transition and created easy scoring opportunities before opposing defences could get organized.

She also proved to be a reliable perimeter threat, confidently knocking down three-pointers and forcing defenders to respect her range. Her ability to score from all three levels made her one of the most difficult individual matchups at the event.

Whether she was attacking the rim, pulling up in the mid-range or stretching the floor from beyond the arc, Fortier gave Hoopstars a dependable offensive weapon throughout the weekend.

Notable Performances:

vs. LYNX: 15 points
vs. North Shore United: 13 points
vs. Next Up Hoops: 18 points, four rebounds and three steals
vs. One Possession Basketball Academy: 23 points, two rebounds and onesteal

Our U18 Women’s team, made up of players born in 2008-2011, had an incredible experience this past weekend at the Canadian National Invitational Tournament (CNIT)!

We couldn’t be more proud of the resilience, determination, and heart this team showed throughout the weekend.

A huge thank you to Mike Mekhail, the team at NorthpoleHoops, and CNIT_Tournament for hosting an outstanding, well-organized event. It was a fantastic experience for everyone involved.

A special shoutout also goes to gwen Mosqueda. While her contributions may not have shown up on the tournament leaderboards, anyone who watched our games knows just how impactful she was on both ends of the floor. Her effort, hustle, and all-around play were invaluable to our team’s success.

Congratulations, ladies, on an outstanding tournament! Competing against excellent teams from across the country, earning a Semi-Final appearance, and pushing yourselves every game is something to be incredibly proud of. The future is bright for this group! 🏀🏀🏀

Proud is an understatement.

These boys put in countless hours of hard work this summer, and they have so much to be proud of. This was their very first summer rep basketball season, and they made it one to remember.

Competing in two leagues, they brought home 🥇 Gold in MYBL and now 🥈 Silver in Coalition League.

This one is a little bittersweet. We fell in the Championship Game to a team that spent the entire summer competing in a higher division before being moved down for the playoffs. Had the playoffs remained within our division, we would have had the opportunity to compete for the Gold against the teams we battled all season.

Regardless, our boys showed incredible character and resilience. They earned a hard-fought 3-point Semi-Final victory over a top team from our division that had defeated us just two weeks earlier. In the Championship Game, we were simply up against a much bigger and physically stronger team that had been playing at a higher level all summer.

Results aside, this season was about growth, competing, and proving what this group is capable of. The improvement from the first practice to the final buzzer was incredible to watch.

Congratulations, boys, on an outstanding summer season. The future is bright! 🏀🥈

Our U13 Boys, led by Coach Adam and Coach Scott, have punched their ticket to the Coalition Summer League Semi-Finals! 🔥🏀

Every practice, every drill, and every ounce of hard work has led to this moment. Now it’s time to leave it all on the floor and earn a spot in the Championship Game.

One team. One goal. Let’s finish what we started. 💪💪💪

Our U19 Women are SEMI-FINALS BOUND at the CNIT (Canadian National Invitational Tournament)! 🔥🏀

Despite missing several key players through our first three games (2 who are out the entire weekend due to injuries), our team has battled with resilience, heart, and determination to earn a spot in the Semi Finals.

We’ve had outstanding performances thus far from , , .mosq, .lwilliams, and , along with incredible contributions from every member of the team.

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, but the job isn’t finished. Tomorrow, we’ll leave everything on the court as we look to punch our ticket to the CNIT Finals! 💪🏆

🥈 Finalists! 🥈

Our U15 Boys battled their hearts out this past weekend, finishing as Coalition Summer League Finalists after falling just one point short in the Championship Game.

The game came down to the final seconds, and while a potential foul with under six seconds remaining wasn’t called, that’s part of the game. We can’t control every call, but we can only control our effort, our attitude, and how we respond.

Our players left everything on the court all weekend, showing resilience, toughness, and outstanding teamwork. Although the loss stings, they have every reason to be proud of what they accomplished, and so are their coaches and parents.

Congratulations boys on an incredible weekend of basketball. Now it’s time to turn the page and get ready for The Big Stage tournament next weekend. Let’s keep building and keep rolling! 💪🏀

🥉 Bronze Medalists! 🥉

Congratulations to our U19 Women on bringing home the Bronze Medal in the Coalition Summer League!

We got off to a slow start in the semi finals, but showed incredible heart by battling back with a huge second half comeback. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and came up just a few points short.

The bronze medal game was a physical battle from start to finish, but our players dug deep, stayed composed, and earned a well deserved victory.

We’re incredibly proud of this group’s resilience, toughness, and determination. Congratulations, ladies!

Next stop: Canadian National Invitational Tournament (CNIT) next weekend. Let’s keep the momentum going! 💪🏀🖤💛
