MD7 White, 2017-2018 (Clarington Minor Hockey Association)

With the Christmas season approaching the MD7 White team wanted to lend a helping hand to a less fortunate family in their community.  The team heard about a seven year old boy living apart from his terminally ill Mom and immediately the team knew they had to assist in every way possible to brighten this family's Christmas. In order to raise money to buy Christmas gifts, the boys joined forces with Boston Pizza and worked as Celebrity Servers throughout the evening of December 3rd.  Friends, families and neighbours came out to support the boys in their quest as the young men got to work ...

The MD7 White boys were pumped and ready to hit the ice yesterday to play the Kingston Canadians, but what they didn't know was that Kingston wasn't their only opponent - The Hockey Gods were also in the house yesterday and were definitely not on Clarington's side.  Whether you call it luck, fate or a fluke the way the puck bounces impacts the outcome of a game and yesterday the puck seemed to bounce the wrong way for Clarington every time (The Hockey Gods.)  But this didn't deter our boys - they have too much character and determination to let a little bad luck stand in their way.  They ...

It's not very often that both the home team and visiting team wear red pants, red helmets and a Toro on their jersey, but such was the case this evening.  Tonight was the much anticipated meeting of the MD7 teams - a game that friends, neighbours and schoolmates became opponents.  It was a game that the boys had been talking about and preparing for since the schedule was released.   The MD7 White boys hit the ice to a crowd of their fans outfitted in grey sweatshirts, horns and noise makers.  As the puck dropped , it was obvious that this could be either team's game. Both teams had their ...

The Peterborough Petes were in town this past Sunday and our MD7 White boys were pumped and ready for the challenge.  After Friday's win against Ajax, the boys had Saturday to rest up and enjoy a day off away from the rink. The rest proved to be beneficial as the boys hit the ice ready to play.  The score was 1-0 for Clarington after the first period but the offence was just getting started.  B. Besco lit it up with with a total of 4 goals and M. LittleJohn added to the score by popping in 2 goals of his own.  The boys continued to shut Peterborough down as the defence stood strong and added ...

Tonight was one of those games that you won't soon forget.  Whether it was the bright pink tape and laces or playing under the "Friday Night Lights", there was something a little different about tonight's game.   Perhaps it was the incredible goal tending or the solid defence or maybe even the sheer grit exemplified by some players, whatever the case, tonight's game had it all.  The boys knew they needed to work hard and play as a team if they were going to be successful and they did just that.  Yes, there were moments of chaos and confusion but that only added to the excitement and drama.  ...
