NobleKing Bantam 1 Wins Championship in Stayner Cyclone Local League Tournament

NobleKing’s Bantam 1 Local League team   Bantam 1 Stayner Winners  spent the weekend of January 7th and 8th in Stayner, competing in the Stayner Cyclone Bantam Local League Tournament.  The Knights defeated the Bradford Bulldogs 3-1 in their first game, in a hard fought battle.  Bantam 1 then lost 5-2  to the Oro Thunder, suffering a late breakdown after leading for much of the game.  The Knights need to win their third game in order to advance to Sunday play.  Their third opponent was Saugeen Shores, and the Knights found themselves trailing 2-0 mid-way through the second period.   However, the Knights came thundering back to win 5-2, and to advance to the semi-finals on Sunday.  NobleKing met the Bradford Bulldogs for the second time in their semi-final game.  All of the scoring in this game happened in the first period,with the Knights hanging onto a 2-1 lead for the remainder of play, and earning the right to compete for the championship.  In their fifth and final game, the Knights met the Thornton Tigers.  NobleKing gave up a goal in the first period, but then scored a pair in the second, leading to a frantic final frame.  The Knights added one more mid-way through the third, and then survived a six on four power play to end the game.   NobleKing had clinched the Championship with a thrilling 3-1 come from behind win against Thornton.

The Knights played well throughout the tournament, with the entire roster contributing to the win.  The team is now looking forward to their next tournament (in Rice Lake) and the Local League playoffs.

NobleKing Fundraising - Volunteers from Each Team Needed

Now that the season is under way, the Executive would like to take this opportunity to thank you, for volunteering your time to help our kids enjoy another great hockey season. If not for your hard work and dedication, there would be no Minor League Hockey... so Thank You!!!

The Executive is proud to say that for the last 5 years there has been no increase in registration fees despite the increased cost of ice rentals, jerseys and equipment, and the addition of the HST. This is in part due to having great sponsorship from members, and fundraising events such as the NobleKing Tournament and our annual raffle. This year we are not holding our annual raffle, but in its place we are planning to hold a series of 3 separate Texas Hold`em Poker events. Our association has 22 teams; therefore we may require 3 events. The idea is to raise money at an event that can also promote a social gathering of all the members. Nobleton and King City are tight knit communities where everyone knows each other. The events will help raise some much-needed funds for the Association and some additional development funds for every team. This is a win... win... win...event!!

Now that you know why we are doing this event... here is where we need your help!!!

1) Each team must appoint 1 Poker Contact and 1 volunteer contact.

2) The Executive will book the facility, cater food, get licenses, organize poker, and oversee all aspects for each event.

3) Teams will be responsible to sell tickets to one of the three events, help at that event, and help collect silent auction prizes.

4) Event dates are to be announced with one held in January, one held in February, and possibly one held in March.

We know that you are already so heavily involved with your team and your everyday life, that this request may be a bit overwhelming. However, these events are to help promote additional parental involvement who would otherwise not participate directly with the teams.

Further information will follow in the coming weeks but in the meantime please feel free to contact Danny Macedo or any members of the executive with questions or for further information.
