PEAC SCHOOL FOR ELITE ATHLETES - Shaping Our Future Leaders




In their first rematch since last season when PEAC defeated The Hill at the OFFSA All Ontario Jr Classic, the U16 Piranhas took a bite out of Hills Pride with a hard fought 6 - 3 victory at Chesswood Arena.

The game was tied 3-3 with with 5 minutes remaining when the Piranhas bared their teeth and ripped apart the Hill de-fence, sniping 3 quick goals to put the game on ice.

Scoring for PEAC was Connor McDavid (2), Brett Dunsbier (2), Mitchell Stephens (1) and George Mika (1). Josh Ho Sang chipped in with 3 assists and Andrew Tucci lead the team between the pipes.

All athletes also completed a series of off ice tests early in September to establish their base-line scores in categories that included total chin-ups, pushups, agility, RHIET (Repeated High Intensity Endurance Test) and single and double legged long jumps. All athletes were meas-ured for height and weight which will then be monitored and compared twice more this sea-son.

Instructors have now finished their first series of marks and comments for round one of the report cards. They have been remitted for review and will be sent out to the parents Novem-ber 11th.

If you have any comments or concerns regarding the on ice reporting please contact your son’s Program Leader.
