Stouffville, ON - The U11A Central York Panthers kicked off their season with an outstanding run at the 13th Annual Starsfest Tournament, playing six hard-fought games over just three days and advancing all the way to the Championship Game.

In a thrilling gold medal game against the Durham West Lightning, the Panthers showed grit and determination. Goals from Belle Davis, Peyton Glaze, Noelle Bianchi, and Grace Milligan kept the score tight, while goaltender Masyn Gagnon stood tall with 26 saves. The game remained deadlocked through regulation and 4-on-4 overtime, where the Panthers killed off a key penalty to force a shootout. Despite their effort, Central York couldn’t solve the Durham West goalie in the shootout and fell 5–4, with the Lightning winning 1–0 in the tiebreaker.

It was a complete team effort throughout the tournament, with strong performances from all players and scoring contributions from across the lineup. Grace Milligan (4), Ella Tsimicalis (3), Noelle Bianchi (3), Belle Davis (3), Gabby Desrosiers (2), Peyton Glaze (2), Kaylee Han (1), and Heidi Pilon (1) all found the back of the net over the weekend.

The Panthers displayed hustle, heart, and teamwork from start to finish, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting season.
