Goaltender Seth Monkhouse went 3-0 including a shutout and the shootout win in the final, to cap a great tournament from him and the entire Arsenal "YG" team.  Also a big hand from our core of 6 players from the Catholic Central Shamrocks hockey team in Novi MI, and 9 total Michigan players to make the win both a home and road victory for Arsenal. Great job guys!

Michigan Pre Draft Young Guns Tournament MVP Rylan Clemons, of Detroit Catholic Central Shamrocks:

Our Arsenal team in the Junior division at the MPD had a strong weekend going 2-1-1, with a 7-6 loss and a blown lead in a 2-2 tie vs eventual champs Windsor Wings cost our team a chance to advance. The team was led on offense by Yianni Liarakos and Costa Likourezos, who tied for the tournament lead in scoring with 10 pts, and Zak Lasley who had 5 goals.

At the Kingston Youth Hockey Festival U18 tournament this past weekend, the Arsenal team, decimated by injuries, showed well but fell in the Semi Finals Sunday at the Invista Centre, to a strong Ottawa Valley Thunder squad. Some strong opposition goaltending, hit posts, bad luck, and blown calls and opportunities left the team snake bitten.

Top performers of the weekend were forwards Mitch Gustavsen, and Goalie Ross Jones, who turned in outstanding performances, helping the team gain points in the standings.

The team will be back on the ice Thursday May 18 with a strong 1999-2001 lineup heading into the Montreal Meltdown tournament in Pierrefonds, Quebec.

Our two  "Jr Arsenal" and "Arsenal Hockey Club" teams competed in the 2017 Niagara Bauer Challenge this past weekend, in Niagara Falls & St. Catherine's Ontario.

The "Jr Arsenal team advanced to the playoff round on sunday, to fall to the Pittsburgh team 2-1 eventually in the semifinal game.

Jr Arsenal were led by a few great player performances, notably team MVP Cam Gaylor, 

The" Arsenal Hockey" team had several great, close games, going 1-3 overall. The AH teams' weekend was however highlighted by a big win over Blyth Central, on the strength of a goal from D John Parker-Jones.

The Arsenal team won the Championship in the Michigan Pre Draft Young Guns (1998-2000) Tournament Showcase in Canton Michigan on Sunday May 8th at the Arctic Ice Arena in Canton Michigan.

Our team was led by tournament MVP (and underage 2001 birth year player) Jake Traynor, Who went 5-4-9 in 6 GP, including the tournament winning goal in a shootout on Sunday vs the London Lakers.

Goalie James Durham from Meijer U16 held us in a sluggish 1st game of the tournament in a great performance, until Arsenal woke up in the 3rd and won it on a goal in the last minute by 2000 Max Tucker (Honeybaked U15), who had 2 GWG over the weekend. Other than a bad bounce in game 3, James shut the door the rest of the tournament.

Goalie Brandon Macham's sprawling save in the shootout made it possible for Jake Traynor to score the winner on Sunday.

Defenceman Brad Lindsay was on fire on the back end, scoring 7 pts in only 5 games played in Michigan while shutting down the opposition with D partner Jordan Ribbink.

Congratulations Arsenal Team on a great win, in our first time attending the Michigan Pre Draft Showcase !

The Brampton Jr Arsenal 1999-2000 team had a great run at the past weekend's Niagara Bauer Challenge.

The team won 5 games in a row, before losing in OT to the Rochester Gamebreakers in our 2nd playuoff game on Sunday May 1.

There were many outstanding performances from the players on the team, led by Team Tournament MVP Josh Traynor (Peterborogh Petes AAA/Lindsay OJHL AP), and Seth Monkhouse of Halton AAA, who went 3-0 in net for us.

Our U18 team played well but couldnt find the net enough, as they went 1-2-1 over the weekend. The team was led in scoring by MVP Sawyer Jensen of Muskegon MI (Mona Shores Sailors HS was his 2015-16 team) in a breakout offensive performance.

The team looks to build off our 1st strong weekend of the year as we head to Canton, MI for the Michigan Pre Draft Young
Guns Showcase next weekend (May 6-8).

Toronto Arsenal downed the Ottawa Romans 2-0 in an exicting game in Kingston to win the 2014 Kingston Int'l Hockey Festival U18 title on Sunday.

Alex Annechairico scored the winner on the power play in the 3rd period with a blast from the point that wouldnt miss. Curtis Colbary had the empty-netter.

Centre Josh Renaud of Tornoto Arsenal was named Tournament MVP by the tournament organizers.  Jesse Michel, with 3 shutouts in 4 games played, was named Top Goaltender.

Toronto Arsenal only gave up 3 goals throughout the entire tournament, and 2 of those were in a head-to-head matchup with our other Arsenal team in Kingston, Power Play Arsenal.

PP Arsenal had an exceptional tournament as well.  Led by team MVP Kevin Dimagno, the PP Arsenal team finished the round robin at 3-1 and tied for the 2nd seed.  PPA won their first playoff game on Sunday, before falling in a heated head to head game with their Toronto Arsenal counterparts.

Congrats to our 99's who made their U18 debuts, Joey Campbell (RW Clarington Toros) who scored 3 goals, and goalie Thomas Caravzan (G, Hamilton Huskies), who pitched a shutout in his first career Junior/U18 game.
