Novice Tier 2 MD Black, 2018-2019, BB (London Bandits)

What an amazing ride it has been. Congratulations to the 2019 Novice MD League Champions. Hockey is often treated like it is a race, when in reality it is a marathon. The highs & lows of a season are speed bumps that should be learning tools not adversity. This group of young men have shown that hard work and dedication does pay off. It has been a pleasure lads, thank you for the memories.   

Congratulations to the following players that will represent the London Bandits Novice Tier II Team this coming season. Our first team practice is this Friday September 14th, 5:30pm at Argyle. Matthew Circelli Mason Cheeseman Simon Greenwood Ethan Hill Aaron Hoskin Carson Johnston Nate LeBlanc Liam Marriott Shep McGann Parker McLean Josh Mikler Jacob Norton Will Payne Hayden Pruder Ryan Ryder G - Sebastien Dillon G - Elliot Peloza

Todays skate was phenomenal, it was the effort the Coaches and Evaluators were looking for. I would like to thank everyone for working hard during the tryout process, the following players are invited to attend the final Tryout tomorrow night, 6pm at Argyle. Matthew Circelli Mason Cheeseman Brody Fuller-Davey Simon Greenwood Ethan Hill Aaron Hoskin Carson Johnston Nate LeBlanc Liam Marriott Shep McGann Parker McLean Josh Mikler Jacob Norton Will Payne Hayden Pruder Ryan Ryder G - Sebastien Dillon G - Elliot Peloza

As discussed we will not be making any cuts tonight. I will see everyone tomorrow morning 8:30am, at Argyle Arena. Wear the same # & colour from todays skate. Please note that the evaluators are conflicted on more than one final roster spot. You must encourage your Bandit to empty the tank, and finish strong in all of the drills. Effort will be the difference.

The ice may have been bad but the effort was great. Our next tryout is scheduled for Friday Sept 7th, 6pm at Argyle. Updates & Clarifications - No cuts will be made until Saturday evening - 5 evaluators are using a point system in 11 categories to assess your Bandit. - I may seek out individual parents as tryouts progress for brief conversations. - Remind your Bandit to keep position in mind while scrimmaging. - Please make sure you are assigned the same jersey # & colour for Fridays Tryout.
