Reminder no practice this SUNDAY JANUARY 29th. 

FURTHER DUE TO A POOL CLOSURE NO PRACTICE MONDAY January 30th or February 6th @RYERSON. 

13U’s and 15U boys have a game day on Saturday Feb 4th vs. VAUGHN. 4:00-7:00 at GRETZKY. 

15u girls will have the option to attend Jimmy Thompson from 10:30 to 12:00 pm on Saturday Feb 4th. 

The Ryerson closure is expected to last 2 weeks.  If the pool does not reopen we will be forced to re-assess the schedule after the February long weekend. 

Further based on increased numbers of 11u comp we ask that only competitive 11u’s continue to attend the Monday at Jimmy Thompson pool.  The pool is full and this is a specific practice for 11u comp athletes in conjunction with HAMMEHEADS Triathlon club, No exceptions.

Another really great Saturday all the same timings for next week.  As a result of the snow closure we will add an additional Wednesday at the end of the session.  Based on the snow closure we are going to ask that all athletes in Swim and Play Ball register on Team Snap.  This will help to improve communication and is free. https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/350067

Good luck to all of the athletes who are Participating in the 17U NCL TOURNAMENT this coming weekend.

Three  of our athletes were selected to participate at the Summit Series in Montreal.

Congrats to: Rhys CARR, Cal LEES and Stella BABINEAU who not only represented the HAWPC but represented Ontario at this tournament.   

On top of the 3 athletes that attended, another member Jessie TURCOTT was listed as an alternate for the women’s team.

We are extremely proud of them all.  This is a big step for our Club as it has been a long time since we have had this many athletes involved with National Team Selection.

We also had our first game day of 2023 at Wayne Gretzky.  Our 13U’s and 11U’s teams played tough against Scarborough.  Thanks to all of the parents and older athletes who came out and helped make this event happen.

An amazing weekend of water polo just passed, with over 50 Club athletes participating in various tournaments.  Some great performances, some gold medalists at the NCL Tournament and some really close games.  Based on the performances that we saw this past weekend the coaches feel that numerous age groups will be in position, to medal at Provincials and qualify for Nationals, if we continue to commit to practicing and training hard. 

Normal week of practice for competitive athletes.

We will have a special extra Swim and Play Ball Session on Wednesday December 6th from 6:30-8:00 PM at Laurier Pool.  To help accommodate with clothing pick up.
