NCPS hosts interschool hockey

By Cole Lundy

This winter, Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School had an interschool hockey team, which was coached by Mr. Weir, and assisted by Mr. Watt and Mr. Underhill.

Both boys and girls from Grades 7 and 8 were on the team, which practiced from 7 to 8 am at the Creemore Arena. Games were played against Admiral Collingwood Elementary School and Byng Public School.

On March 6, the entire student body of NCPS went to watch the game against Byng at the Creemore arena. The game tied 2-2.

There was also a tournament on Tuesday, March 25 in Elmvale. The team played two games at 1 and 3 pm. The team won their first game 4-2, but lost the second game 5-2.

The players learned to come together as a team and Mr. Weir changed the lineup as he got to know the players’ skills. The team had fun.

The players would like to thank Mr. Weir, Mr.Underhill and Mr.Watt for making this opportunity a reality. Congratulations to the team for representing our school!
