Official Statement.
With many fans, players and help already aware of the situation, unfortunately we will not be taking to the ice for the 25/26 season. Only time will tell what next season will bring.
To answer the biggest questions asked. Coshl is taking a year off to reset, and re establish after incidents that were out of their control are causing them to do so.
We were accepted to the NPHL, however since we are within 30km of the Tweed Oil Kings, they had a right of refusal and chose to use it.
We were excited for the local rivalry and community involvement, only adding to the reasons we started this. But every business owner makes their own strategy and business plan, so we will respect their decision and not comment any further.
We had an amazing first season. Anybody that followed us throughout the inaugural season would have seen that we went from a bunch of individually talented players, to a well oiled team. From there the team attracted even more out of town talent, which in turn led to us to the COSHL finals!
Off the ice, the list is endless to thank. But a huge shout out also has to go to all the players that persevered through our, and the COSHLโs first season. We endured more than a team should have to, and players took on more responsibility than should be asked. They did it working as a family, and ended stronger than i could have imagined. Thank you men for a great season.
We will keep our page active this season into next. In that time we are going to re post, and thank all our sponsors and help that went out on a limb sponsoring a new team. We know we could not have done it without you. We were able to work with a couple local charities and help, and it was only due to other local businesses and people helping us along the way. You allowed a place for local talent to continue to have a competitive place to play, and gave local kids a player to look up to and be excited to see play on a Sunday afternoon. That alone made everything worth it.
Thank you again to everyone that supported us, it did not go unnoticed. We look forward to following some of our players as they continue to play and will be hopeful for a return season in the future.
