"And thanks to the parents, for supporting us, making it big for all your daughters, for cheering us on, and for being there when we needed it."

Team Re-Categorized to Bantam B

Dec 16th, 2008
The ESS Bantam C Golden Hawks were Re-Categorized to B. The OWHA re-categorization system allows teams to request a review on other teams. In this case, Markham Stouffville decided the best way to get to the Provincials was to remove us from the division. While the team does not feel it is the correct decision, they are now ineligible for playoffs and must compete at B for Provincials. Good Luck to the team as they tackle this new challenge!!
