On April 16th we proudly hosted our
Junior Rep Banquet for our U8 thru U13 Renegades teams!
It was truly a night to remember as we
celebrated a season filled with hard work, dedication, and achievement. From
recognizing our outstanding award winners, to honouring our U12B
White Team – York Simcoe and OMHA Champions, the event was a proud
reflection of what it means to be a Renegade.
We were
also proud to introduce the
Renegade Junior Leadership Award,
which will be presented annually in honour of
NMHA Past President - Lynda
Carusi, a long-time volunteer whose passion, dedication, and
leadership have made a lasting impact on the Newmarket Minor Hockey Association. This award will recognize a Renegades player who embodies the values of leadership, commitment and community - just as Lynda has for so many years.
The atmosphere was electric, and the smiles on
the faces of players, coaches, and families said it all. A special shout-out
goes to everyone involved in organizing our incredible prize table—a
huge hit with all the players!!
This banquet wasn't just a celebration—it was
a statement. We are building something special here. The success of this season
and the spirit of this event are proof that we are setting a new standard of
excellence for our Rep program—both on and off the ice.
We are incredibly proud of our players,
coaches, and parents. Your commitment, teamwork, and passion helped shape a
season that sets the tone for even greater things ahead.
Congratulations to these award winners from the 2024 – 2025 season.
