WHA Squirt Zeravica 2015-2016

It's a wrap for Sq**rt Z. Final facebook posting for the season. I first off want to thank the parents. Without you guys being willing to live this crazy lifestyle...the early morning practices, the driving, the cash...without all of you- this would not be possible. Thank you to everyone for showing up and helping in the box. We worked together for the kids to truly make this a hockey FAMILY! You should be proud of all your players...not only are they all good little hockey players, they are wonderful "little men" as that's what they are becoming. Every single one is smart, respectful, and most importantly "coachable" kids. They showed all of us what it's like to play as team. Each one has developed from the beginning of the season. I am honored to know all of them. And finally to Denny, Neil, Ed, Ron...couldn't think of 4 better men than you guys to coach this team. You got the boys respect at the beginning and carried it all the way until the end. You were tough when you had to be but always had a pat on the helmet for when they played good. I never had to look for our lockeroom...all I had had to do was listen. We were the one with the dancing, singing, and laughing coming out if it. For that we all thank you. I know boys were upset with the loss today but I was told by several of the players they were more upset about the season being over. That says a lot about the 4 of you. Whatever goals you had for this team at the beginning of the season... you surpassed it. Thank you for being great role models and men. Good luck to all the players moving up and those staying behind. We'll be waiting for you! Let's keep this rolling next year! Love all of you and thanks for letting me be your manager! Mandi

Fought all the way until the end...went into 4 on 4 and then a shootout...they got us by 1. Keep your heads up boys....NOTHING to be ashamed of!!!

Tough loss in the championship game today. The Predators shut us down 4-0 but not without a fight. So proud of how our boys played...fighting to the end. More proud of how they handled themselves on the ice. Took second place in a division of 6...not too shabby!!
