Erie Jr Otters 12U Major Hockey Team

03/10/2026

The final whistle has blown on our season, and while the scoreboard didn't fall our way, the Erie Jr. Otters 12U Minor Team leaves the ice with something much more valuable: Character, Commitment, and Pride.

From the first practice to the final playoff shift, these kids defined what it means to play Otters Hockey. They didn't just play the game; they evolved. They improved every single week, faced every challenge head-on, and finished the year as a stronger, more cohesive unit than when they started. They leave this season with their heads held high and a locker room full of memories that will last a lifetime.
