Congratulations to our U11BB Panthers on an outstanding 2nd-place finish in Peterborough this weekend. Over five tough games, this group battled from start to finish and showed incredible determination, effort, sportsmanship and teamwork.  Every player contributed, and the pride they showed on and off the ice was special to watch. The commitment to improve within this team continues to stand out, and now they’ve earned some well deserved hardware to prove it.  These young and emerging Panthers represented our CYGHA program well and have come home with a well-earned silver medal!

The Panther High Performance Program is pleased to confirm that David Heath will again coach the U15AA team for the 2026-2027 season. In 2024-2025 David's U15AA finished first in their loop and was ranked among the top 10 teams in Ontario. So far in 2025-2026 the team is building on last season's success and is again first in their loop and ranked in the top 10 teams in the province.

On November 26th, we are launching a new fundraising campaign in partnership with Ascend Fundraising Solutions called "Victory Vault".   The goal of this campaign is to reduce the cost barriers for female athletes looking to start playing hockey.  Ultimately, a successful campaign would allow the CYGHA to completely waive registration fees for new players! The campaign web site can be found here: www.victoryvault.ca

An amazing weekend for our U18BB Panthers taking home Silver in Lake Placid Tournament. Going undefeated in the Round-Robin. Girls came to play in the Final game, but came up a little short losing 2-1. Great effort all around.

Our Panthers gave it everything they had on the ice, coming up just short in a thrilling 1-2 overtime battle. While the final score wasn’t what we were hoping for, the heart, hustle, and teamwork on display were nothing short of incredible. They left it all out there, pushing to the very end and lifting each other up every step of the way. We couldn’t be prouder of their effort and determination!

What a weekend for the U11A Panthers! Six games in three days, capped off with a thrilling shootout in the Starsfest Championship. Hustle, heart, and teamwork earned this group a well-deserved Silver!

The U18B Panthers roared their way to a Silver Medal finish at the Markham-Stouffville Starsfest! In a division of 16 teams, the girls played 7 games in 54 hours, battled hard and created lasting memories. Hat tricks, shutouts, high fives and an incredible OT winner…these Panthers are curating their new identity. Congratulations to the athletes and families on an amazing start to the season!. Special mention is deserving for the strong Kincardine Kincuks for taking the gold in an exciting and very well played final.

The U15B team are silver medallists at the 13th Annual SMGHA Starsfest,  This group of girls battled hard all weekend with a 5 game undefeated round robin and making it to the finals to take home a silver medal, not bad for a preseason tournament, we all look forward to seeing what the season brings! Best of luck!
