Capitals, HL-TYK, 2016-2017 (Kitchener Minor Hockey)

It is hard to believe that the hockey season has ended, but for our team, there are many great memories to look back on and remember it by. When the season began, our boys were five and six years old, and together, these boys were to embark on a season of firsts. 

The Kitchener Capitals remained undefeated in KMHA play to capture the tyke division championship.   We started the year end championship round Robin play with a come from behind last second 3-3 tie against the Sharks.  Up next we played a strong game against the Penguins and won 5-1.  In the final game of the round robin we couldn't find the back of the net and tied 0 all with the Kings.   

The Capitals won the Tyke Prang divison of the Jason Cripps Tournament.  After finishing first through the round robin going 2-0-1, we went on to play the Penguins in the semi-finals. In a fast paced game we were able to beat the Penguins 5-2. A rematch from our 1 tie in the tournament against the Kings was up next for the finals. We got on the score board in the first period and edged out the Kings 1-0 in a good back and forth game. Great Tournament Capitals!!!
