SHFT Hockey

The drive to never give up is strong with this one 💪

Emma faced down the grind of tryouts, right to the very end, never giving up, and persisted to achieve her goal of making the jump from U15 to U18 rep hockey.

With that behind us, it’s just about time to get back to work to reach next seasons goals.

Let’s go!

The past three seasons have been full of hard work and perseverance for Alanna, and she’s landed herself a spot at U18 for next season because of that 🙌

It’s an opportunity with a new team that will only help her continue to focus on growing her game 📈

Can’t wait to see what she does with this next chapter 📖

Tristan had one of those seasons that kept building, with steady improvement and increased commitment.

He was a pleasure to coach and mentor, and although tryouts didn’t reward him fully for his efforts, he still achieved his goal for next season, and that’s something to hang your hat on 🧢

Nice work T!

Another success story coming out of tryouts is SHFT student Annabelle.

She shone when it counted most, so much so that she’s making the jump from U15 Tier 3 to U18 Tier 2 in her minor year.

The work she’s put in is showing itself and we couldn’t be more proud of her for achieving big things!

Headed back to Kincardine this summer for year 3️⃣ working with former student at her goalie camp.

Morgan’s passion for the game, and continually evolving skill as a coach, brings the best out in her students, and I look very forward to being part of that again this year.

Reach out to Morgan if you’re interested and hope to see you there.

So much of the hockey journey is out of our control, so all we can do is control our attitude and effort.

Mentor student has done exactly that all season long, and despite receiving outstanding feedback from coaches during tryouts, she landed at a level not fully representative of her skill or work ethic.

When these moments happen, our commitment to our goals and the work we put in to chase them, will truly be challenged.

Looking forward to getting back to work this summer!

We’ve been cheering on mentor student Ivy throughout tryouts and are so proud of her for achieving her goal of making the jump from U13BB to U15A for next season.

Ivy continues to learn how to do the work and leans more and more into that every day.

Congrats Ivy!

A couple notes that have rolled in from parents of mentor students during tryouts.

Proud of all the kids and the effort they put in. Without that, my knowledge is useless.

Let’s keep shifting our games gang!

.mctendy22 you’ve earned your spot on the Tier 1 (U15A) team in Woodstock for the 2026-27 season and we couldn’t be more excited for you 👏🏻

Your work ethic and growth last season, particularly in the second half, really shows your commitment to getting better, and the results are proof.

Keep up the great work!

Shout out to SHFT student Elise Robbie, who made the U15A Waterloo Ravens for 2026-27.

After playing U13A last season, this lateral move is a heck of an accomplishment and shows what hard work can do.

Keep up the great work Elise!
