We also need to congratulate Ben Parent who competed at the U16 Boys National Club Championships also in Montreal this past weekend.  Ben participated as part of the Hamilton team who finished in 9^th position of 17 teams.  The team went 1 and 4 for the event.  Their 5-4 victory over CAMO 2 was crucial in their final positioning.  Ben was instrumental in this exciting game where he earned a Game All-star for his excellent play.  Congrats Ben!
