Warriors go undefeated to win Gold at the 2008 Canada Day Weekend St. Albert Boys Tournament!

The Warriors U-16 Tier II Boys Team coached by Larry Olatonade put in a stellar team performance throughout the Canada Day long weekend as participants of the 2008 Annual St. Albert Boys Tournament. Playing in a round robin format and enduring sizzling temperatures upwards of 31 degrees, they set the tone early with a 2-1 victory over the lads from the Edmonton Scottish Society in their first tilt.

The team got off to a quick start in the opening half with Aundrey Webster notching the Warriors first goal of the tournament. Their continued hard work eventually paid off with Shina Olatonade putting the proverbial “nail in the coffin” by striking the winning goal with only 2 minutes remaining on the clock.

In their second outing the following day against what would prove to be a tough Red Deer Renegades squad, the Warrior boys came away with a convincing 3-0 victory with timely goals from snipers Steven Ferreira, Arjun Dhimon and Braden Wain. Unfortunately, the match took its toll as far as injuries were concerned serving up the potential for costly repercussions heading into the deciding match.

Under a blazing sun, the intense heat continued to rein heavy on the team as they geared up for their final game against the NSD Impact out of Calgary . Despite being short 4 players due to the numerous injuries in the previous Renegades match, and with the effects of heat exhaustion beginning to take its toll, the players were not discouraged and remained focused on achieving the positive result they were looking for.

At the halfway mark, the boys were down 3-1, but as a result of dogged perseverance and an unwavering determination, managed to miraculously come from behind with 3 unanswered goals to steal a 4-3 win and along with it…the ultimate prize. GOLD!

In the final match, Cole Smith and Brendan Woytowich tallied for one goal a piece and Shina Olatonade struck for two to bring his total to 3 throughout the entire tournament.

All the boys along with Larry and his Coaching Staff should be congratulated for their commitment and determination to never quit and a special THANK YOU goes out to all the parents, grandparents and family members that sat through the scorching heat to cheer and support our boys!!! Awesome job Warriors!!!

The U-16 Tier II Warriors Boys also won BRONZE in the EWZSA Spring Challenge tournament at the end of May 2008. Great job guys!!

Warriors Women's Division I Team Win Gold Medal at 2007 - '08 Indoor Provincials!

Looking to defend their title as Provincial Champions, Jared Katerenchuk's Division 1 Warriors Women’s squad headed into another promising indoor season. The previous season, the team overcame many obstacles, all the while, building team chemistry and morale.

The ladies got off to a slow start, dropping crucial points against beatable teams. Not to be discouraged however, through hard work and dedication, the team rallied in the second half of the season to go undefeated and as a result, earned themselevs a Provincial berth.

After two thrilling comebacks in the opening rounds, the women found themselves in the gold medal final. Fifty minutes of scoreless soccer left the game hanging on the balance of a shoot out. Spectacular goalkeeping and clutch finishing were the story, as the Warriors prevailed and earned the club their first provincial gold medal in women’s soccer.

The following week, the women lost a nail-biting shootout in the Premier challenge game. Although they were disappointed with the loss, they proved to themselves that they can compete at the Premier level.

All in all, it was a tremendous season, one in which everyone on the team can take credit for being a part of. The Coaching Staff is very proud of the team and we can only hope that we will see the same success and growth in the team this oudoor season. Terrific job ladies! Let's repeat in 2008 - '09!
