The Jr. Bulls Midget U16A ice hockey team, based at the Ice Sports Forum in Brandon, won the State Championship at the Statewide Amateur Hockey of Florida (SAHOF) in Palm Beach on March 5.
Three teens from our New Tampa & Wesley Chapel Neighborhood News coverage area competed on the team.
Goaltender Matthew Garneau and forward Owen Barno from New Tampa (see story on page 34), as well as defenseman Alex Carr from Wesley Chapel, played for the Jr. Bulls.
The Jr. Bulls, coached by Dave Collins and Joe Canfield, were seeded last among the six teams competing for the state championship.
But, the Bulls proved to be the top team, winning four times (against just one loss) and posting a pair of shutouts over the weekend, including a 2-0 whitewash of the Space Coast Rockets in the finale.
