The two high school tournaments were held on Friday of December 13th. The Bishop Ryan Invitational and the CKSS Invitational were held in Hamilton and Milton respectively. The Bishop Ryan Invitational would serve as a good barometer for how our athletes will perform at the national championships as teams from across the country come to participate. This year, being a Canada Games year promised a higher level of competition. The CKSS Invitational would also feature many tough matches as the brackets proved to be especially large.

A packed venue as usual
