Coaldale Thunder rocks

Four Coaldale Thunder teams travelled to Calgary this past weekend for the Calgary Winter Classic Tournament. 

Repeating their success from three weeks ago in the Lethbridge Boys Tournament, all Thunder teams went undefeated in a total of 16 games, bringing home the gold. The U12 t3 boys went 3-0 in the round robin against teams from Calgary and Lethbridge, before winning the gold medal game 6-2 against EMFC Strikers.

Playing against Calgary teams, the U14 t3 team advanced to the gold medal game, defeating CWSC Real 8-2. First-time goalkeeper Jordan Groenenboom shone throughout the tournament, posting the fewest goals against.

The U14 T2 boys won their gold medal game in a very competitive 2-1 final versus the Foothills 01 DA team. Mathieu Gaulin and Jack Gaehring scored in the final. Mark Herasemluk was outstanding in net.

The U16 t3 team also advanced undefeated to their final game, where they won gold in a 3-0 match against Foothills United.
