Shelbi Kilcollins, assistant coach of the U15 Ice Kats, says the new schedule was sent out to the team on Sunday night and players are rearing to go.

“We’re all in a group chat together and when the schedule was sent out on Sunday - for lack of a better word the girls are absolutely buzzing. We’re on the ice six times this week,” she said.

The team was ranked number one in the country before they were forced to step off the ice due to provincial mandates.

Now that the girls are back, they are ready to win.

“We certainly aren’t just making the playoffs this year,” said Kilcollins. “These girls want the provincial championship.”

This season will be the last time many of the girls play together, as next year many of them will move on to play in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League.

Two seasons ago when this group played Pewee, they finished the season ranked number one in Canada and now that they are back together they plan to do it again.

Team members include: head coach Chris Moher, assistant coach Shelbi Kilcollins, assistant coach Tim Degeer, Lacey Clement, Chloe Fife, Kate Bell, Rhaea Flint, Claire Baynham, Sadie Davidson, Chey Degeer, Syd Sawyer, Amy Clements, Soph Harold, Molly Farace, Kylee Strano, Claire Chambers, Ava Moher, Avery Johnston, Clara Williams and Brooke Cavanagh.
