U9 Tier 4 - Scorpions, Under 9 (Arnprior Minor Hockey Association)

"Being a goalie is about more than just stopping shots. It’s about being an anchor for your team and doing whatever it takes to help them succeed." (Marc-André Fleury) This role comes with its own unique set of challenges and rewards. It takes a special kind of person to be a goalie and embrace the demands that come with it. It's not just about making saves, it’s about becoming the backbone of the team. We are so lucky to have a such a talented and dedicated goalie with us this season! All of the players rush to him after each game to congratulate him on a job well done. Keep up the great ...

The Scorpions played their first home game (or the "home opener" as the players called it) against the Petawawa Team 3 U9s on Thursday night! It was an exciting game for all involved and the kids are now looking forward to their first away game of the season in Pembroke this coming Thursday. GO SCORPIONS GO!

We are also sending a big shout-out to Mike this week for joining Curtis & Curtis on-ice to run our practice! We are so fortunate to have such a great group of parents on our team this year and are especially thankful to Mike for signing up as an on-ice helper. 

The Scorpions got to try on their Packers jerseys this evening for photo night. Most of our players have just moved up from the U7 level (Timbits jerseys) or they are totally new to AMHA, so it was exciting for them to wear the Packers logo for the first time! There were lots of big smiles as everyone tried on their jerseys - we even kept them on for practice once our photos were done. Special thanks to Curtis M. for joining Curtis W. to run the practice tonight! Having the extra on-ice support allows us to break into smaller groups, which makes it so much easier to keep the players engaged, ...
