Today our brave Lion Cubs stepped up to the challenge at the under-16s game day, fielding one of the youngest squads in the league. Despite knowing they were up against strong opposition, our Cubs showed heart, grit, and a never-give-up attitude from the first puck drop to the final whistle.

💥 Game 1 vs Wolverines
The Cubs held their own in the first period, trailing just 4–0 against a well-drilled Wolverines side. Experience told in the second half, but the Cubs never backed down and kept battling.

🔥 Game 2 vs Devils
A tighter affair saw the Cubs go into the break only 2–1 down. The Devils’ experience helped them pull away in the second period, but the Cubs showed real fight and teamwork throughout.

🌊 Game 3 vs Seakings
Another close contest! The Cubs were just 3–1 down at half-time, and although the Seakings edged the second period, our Cubs gave it everything and left it all on the rink.

🏆 Players’ Player of the Day: Lottie
Lottie was a rock in goal, making outstanding saves and keeping the team in every game. Her performance was nothing short of heroic!

🎖️ Coaches’ Player of the Day: Lucas
At just 11 years old, Lucas led by example, bagging two goals and showing maturity beyond his years. A true leader on and off the rink!

👏 Honourable mentions to Sam, Hallie, Theo, Charlie, Jo, and Callum — each played a massive role today, giving 100% on the rink and supporting each other with a positive attitude on the bench. This team became a little family today, and we couldn’t be prouder.

💬 We may not have got a win, but the day was full of positives. The Cubs improved with every game, and we can’t wait to see how this team grows over the season.

Our junior teams are also expanding, now competing in the West Under 8s, 10s, 12s, and 14s Leagues—with many players experiencing league hockey for the very first time!

But we’re not stopping there. We’re looking to grow even more and have spaces available across all our teams. If you’re interested in joining, now is the perfect time!
