The Woolwich Thrashers Junior Sledge Hockey teamโs season came to an end following a tough quarter-final loss in Peterborough last weekend.
Having finished the Junior Development Leagueโs regular season in seventh place with a 6-4-0 record the team headed to the Ontario Sledge Hockey Association playoffs with high hopes.
The teamโs inaugural year in the league, they had found great success throughout the season with many hard-fought wins, tournament battles and a bonding chemistry found on the team.

โI couldnโt be prouder of these kids. They fought hard all game, and every game all season, and we just didnโt get the breaks today. We came a long way this year, being our first year in the league, and weโll continue to grow and get better,โ said Keith Metzger, co-head coach of the team.
Although this season is done, the sentiment in the dressing room is that the players are already looking forward to the next one โ theyโre ready now for a new season to start.
โIโm determined to keep my conditioning regimen going over the summer, to ensure Iโm in great shape for next season,โ said winger Lucas Harrison.
โI canโt believe how much fun I had this season and canโt wait โtil next season to get my first goal,โ added Brandon Lalonde.
The season may be over for now, however next year is already turning out to be an exciting one. Looking forward to the 10th anniversary of the Thrashers in Woolwich next year, the team will be playing host to the 2019 National Sledge Hockey Championship in May.
