U18 AA Jr. Rangers Enter Silver Stick Finals as Ontario’s Top-Ranked Team

This past Saturday the U18AA Rangers and the Sarnia Jr. Sting took part in a special ceremony.  Hockey Fights Cancer reminds us that behind every jersey and every number is a real person, with a story that matters.  Each player, coach, official and spectator held a tribute card tonight - a name, a memory, a message for someone whose life has been touched by cancer.  Some have beaten the odds, some are still fighting. Sadly some we carry with us in our hearts every single day. Saturday night we honored the families who stand beside them, and the teammates and friends who support them.

Back-to-Back Silver Stick Champions. But tonight is about our players. An overtime win that didn’t happen because of luck,  it happened because this group believes in each other. Every kid in that room had a moment this weekend where they stepped up, pushed through, and showed why this team is special. Our leaders set the tone. Our depth guys battled for every loose puck. Our goalies made the big saves when the game was on the line. Our defense never backed down. Our forwards found a way shift after shift even when their legs were gone.

The U18 AA Jr. Rangers capped off an incredible weekend on Sunday by winning the Waterloo Memorial Tournament, defeating the host Waterloo Wolves 5–2 in a thrilling championship rematch of last year’s final. After falling short in 2024, the Rangers returned determined and this time, they finished the job.
