The coaching staff is extremely proud of these young men. They continue to perform well among the top teams in BC all season and have us positioned well to take that final step to a Provincial Championship. They also represented their families, school and community with the SHARP ideals that our program embodies. We look forward to watching them grow as young men and wish them continued success!
