End of the Regular Season
The Lady Rangers hosted the Ayr Rockets in their final game of the 2025 / 2026 regular season.  

After twenty-one regular season games against the Ayr Rockets, Brantford Ice Cats, Cambridge Roadrunners, Guelph Gryphons, Saugeen Maitland Lightning, South Huron Sabres, Stratford Aces, Waterloo Ravens and the Woolwich Wild, the Lady Rangers ended their regular season play in game number twenty-two against the Ayr Rockets. A strong first saw the Lady’s out shooting and out chancing the Rockets but the score board would show things tied at “one”. In a penalty filled second period which saw both sides take fourteen minutes each (I’m not good with math but in a fifteen-minute period….), the Lady’s continued their solid play. Remaining tied heading into the break, the Lady’s would score just under three minutes into the third to secure the final “W” of the regular season. The win kept the Lady Rangers in 2nd place for the season with an overall record of 12 wins, 7 losses and 3 ties for 27 points. Just how close was the Central West Division this season?

With thirteen new faces joining us this season, a second-place finish is certainly well-deserved. Your ability to make good “Choices and Options” is clear but as we discussed, attention to detail will be key as we get ready for the “second season” of play.

Kitchener Minor Hockey Association, as part of their mandate, provides financial support for children in this community who, without our assistance, would not be afforded the opportunity to participate in organized hockey in the City of Kitchener. Monies for this cause have been donated by various individuals and organizations over the years, however with increasing demands we have the need to provide further support for this program. One hundred per cent of the funds raised by KIDS IN GEAR are channelled directly to purchase equipment for children.
Timbits
The Timbits Minor Sports Program is a community-oriented sponsorship program for children four to eight years old who participate in local house league sports teams.

Tim Hortons currently sponsors over 200,000 children who play on hockey, soccer, lacrosse, t-ball, baseball and ringette teams across Canada and in the United States. Each sponsored team is supplied with Timbits Minor Sports jerseys or T-shirts. Timbits hockey teams are often given the opportunity to play on-ice scrimmages during intermissions at Junior, American Hockey League (AHL) and National Hockey League (NHL) games and do so with our own KITCHENER JR. A RANGERS. Tim Horton's once again sponsor's our 40 entry level HL teams this year.
