The Temiskaming Shores Puckhounds will host this year’s OHF Bantam A Championship. The tournament will be held at Don Shepherdson Memorial Arena in New Liskeard from April 12th to 14th.
This Puckhounds team is comprised of a group of hardworking, dedicated and respectful athletes. The team’s goals are to compete hard but fair in every game, to improve throughout the year, and to always respect players, teams, referees, parents and fans. Coaches aim to ensure that each player has a meaningful, enjoyable experience while reaching their individual full potential. The Puckhounds have attended tournaments in Orillia, LaSarre and Toronto, which emphasized team building as they travelled around together as a team.
