It was a great day of scrimmages. Many thanks to the Burlington Stamps U16 & U18, Guelph and Peel U16s and Durham U18s. Good luck to all on a great season. Many thanks to the Lakeshore refs for volunteering their time.
A great way to get ready for the season by partnering with your local teams and giving your members pre-season reps!
