|
|---|
|
The Goulding Park Rangers Peewee A team wins the 2009/2010 King Clancy Tournament in their first year in the GTHL. As Select Champions the year before the boys entered the league with high expectations falling just short of making the playoffs. They finished the season on a high note with a 12 -1 -1 run and beat out 13 other teams from across the GTA en route to winning the Clancy Tournament.

The above picture is of Adam Shibuya receiving the St. Michael’s Majors Minor Midget Scholarship Award from Duncan Stauth (left) and Chick Evans (right).
This award is presented at the GTHL Annual General Meeting each year to recognize a player who achieves a high standard of excellence in hockey and in school.
Adam certainly demonstrates both.
Adam is a goalie for the North York Rangers Minor Midget AAA team, while attaining a 94% O.S.S.D. grade average at Upper Canada College in their International Baccalaureate program. Last year, Adam also received the Class of ’57 Trophy for “merit and attainment in academics and athletics”.
He is an honours student with distinction.
When Adam is not playing hockey as a goalie with the North York Rangers or working to maintain his scholastic achievements (his strengths are maths and sciences, focusing on post-secondary education in medicine or engineering) Adam takes time out to play junior varsity hockey and has played football and rugby for the school also. He also participates in tennis, golf and working out in the gym.
We are extremely proud of Adam and his achievements.

| Doing our best to keep your costs down... |
|---|
We are doing our best to keep your costs down.
We went out and asked the question. How can we keep our costs down and maintain the quality hockey and appearance that everyone wants from our organization?
Here is our answer, if you are a returning player;
- If your uniform sweaters fit and they are in good condition, don’t buy new ones.
- If your 3 in 1 winter coat fits, don’t buy a new one.
- If your hockey bag will last another season, let’s make it last.
These are all included in the cost of registration and we will refund the cost to you.
- If your pants, helmet and gloves fit from last year and they were issued by your Goulding Park team last year, wear them again this year.
- If your track suit can last another year, then lets make this year its last.
And more...
We have recommended to your coaches and Managers if they want to purchase new track suits hats, toques or other visible apparel have it sponsored. Otherwise 75% of all families must agree to the expense (all are to participate in the purchase).
HERE IS ANOTHER MONEY SAVING IDEA...
If you know someone who wants to play House League and they live in Metro Toronto, we will refund $50.00 from your registration, if they sign and play for the Goulding Park Hockey Association.
Not only that...
The Goulding Park Hockey Association will refund $25.00 to the family who signs and plays House League.

The annual dinner dance is now long behind us. With about 300 people in attendance it was our most successful in years. It all came together in a matter of weeks due to the extraordinary work of Sheri Hedman, Maria Scali and Steph Gagne. Bryon Waldman and Claude Desjardins manned the raffle table all night and were also on the dance committee together with Brant Snow and Wally Turner.
Sheri and Maria were the recipients of the General Manager’s awards for their volunteering as team managers for many years.
Next years dinner dance has been scheduled for November. Plan to join us so you don’t miss the fun.
Also our Canadian Junior team has won the Gold (again). Wow what a series. We won the final by scoring 5 goals and to think we were within 5 seconds of not making it to the gold medal final.
Chris DiDomenico (25) played for our Goulding Park Rangers AAA division (North York Rangers) before he went on to the “Q” in Major Junior hockey playing for St. John. In his last year with us he played for the North York Rangers Midget team under the coaching of Spence Kirton. Chris stays in touch regularly with Spence and we often see Chris around the arena when he is in town. The whole Ranger organization is extremely proud of Chris’ accomplishments so far and we hope to see more of Chris on the ice with the Toronto Maple Leafs (he was drafted by them and we saw Chris there in pre-season).
It is likely you will see Chris playing against P. K. Subban who was drafted by the Canadiens. P. K. also played some of his minor hockey with the North York Rangers. He left at the end of his Bantam year. However his younger brother remained with us for a few more years (until he decided he wanted to play goal, even though he is not anymore). Their father also coached with us.
Both (Chris and P. K.) are fine young men and we are proud that we have been able to contribute to their success.
GO RANGERS GO
We are in the annual process of reviewing our coaches’ successes and challenges. We have also been speaking with a number of parents who want their children (players) to come to the Goulding Hockey organization next season.
While many of the coaching placements have been decided, we will not be confirming any until such time all final decisions have been made. We are also working diligently at maintaining current costs (except where we have little or no control such as ice costs).

The Midget AA team clinched the "Rock and Roll Cup" in Cleveland after defeating every team in their way.
Not only did they win the tournament, they were able to enjoy an NFL game as the Cleveland Browns took on the Denver Broncos on the Thursday night.
It was a great weekend for all and we are looking forward to our team's continued success.

The Goulding Park Rangers AA and A Divisions are the competitive divisions of the Goulding Park Hockey Association (as is the North York Rangers even though they have been required to become separately incorporated).
Together we celebrated our 50th Anniversary with the start of the 2007-2008 season. The Association started in 1957 and became incorporated March 3, 1964.
We are incorporated as a community based not for profit association. There are no employees only volunteers and between the Goulding Park Rangers and North York Rangers we volunteered over 43,000 hours during the 2007-2008 season.
With the movement to the North York Rangers AAA division in 1995, we started to phase out Single A Teams. This year we are proud to once again introduce the single A division with a team at the Atom age group. We are hopeful of their success and look to grow this division in the coming years.
Every year we have 9 teams in the AA division; Minor Atom (our Goulding Novice Select team has always been a great resource for players at this level), Atom, Minor Peewee, Peewee, Minor Bantam, Bantam, Minor Midget, Midget and Under 21 AAA (It should be noted the Juvenile Division has been renamed to Under 21 AAA). We have won more Carnation Cups (League Champions) at the Juvenile level than any other team in the GTHL. The Under 21 AAA team is also a great resource for players and affiliate players for our North York Rangers Jr A team.
We are very proud of being a part of the Goulding Park Hockey Association. Every year we have players from House League and Select tryout successfully for our division successfully. Jerray Wilson is a notable success moving quickly from our Select program to our AA division then to our AAA division. We welcome them.
