Our U6, U8 and U10 teams will be going head to head in a series of pond hockey style games with our Bantams and Peewee's helping out as our coaches and referees.  We have a few ref/coach games scheduled as well so they can get in on the fun too.

Parents we will have food, games, beer and more to keep you and the rest of the family busy as we hustle through our games and kick the season off in true Wildcat style.
