The U13 Nomad Golden Hawks Prove to be a Force to be Reckoned With
The U13 Nomad Golden Hawks prove to be a force to be reckoned with in their opening playoff performance.

This victory sealed the fate of the team to make it to the next round in playoffs.
The team would then face off against Whitby White for the final game in the series. Both teams would be vying for the top spot in the series.
