KJR U15 AA/A Capture Preseason Challenge Championship!
The Kitchener Jr Rangers U15 Seeded team capped off a successful weekend with a championship win at the 2025 Preseason Challenge, hosted by the Belle River District Minor Hockey Association from September 19–21.




The group went a perfect 6–0, including a 4–1 win in the championship final over the Talbot Trail Blazers.

Kitchener’s success was built on hard work, discipline, and a true team-first mentality. All players contributed — whether on the scoresheet, in shot blocking, forechecking, strong goaltending, or supporting each other on the bench.

The team allowed only three goals against across all six games, while showing consistency and composure in each outing.

The Jr Rangers started the tournament with four round-robin wins over Pelham (8-0), Strathroy (8-1), Tri Centre (10-0), and Southeast (4-0).

They followed that up with a solid semifinal win in a rematch against Strathroy (5-1) before moving on to the final.

In the championship game, the team played with poise, using their structure and depth to earn a 4–1 win over the Talbot Trail Blazers to close out a great weekend of hockey.

Congratulations to all players, coaches, and families involved. The tournament title reflects not only the talent on this team, but also the dedication and commitment the players bring every day.

We’re proud of how this group represented KMHA, both on and off the ice, and look forward to the season ahead!
