The Paris U12A Thunder wrapped up their season with an outstanding performance at the Ringette Ontario Championship Tournament this weekend in Markham, earning a silver medal and showcasing the determination, teamwork, and competitive spirit that defined their year.
Paris opened the tournament with confidence, finishing round-robin play at 3-1. Their consistency and composure secured a well deserved place in the semifinal round.
In a high-intensity matchup, Paris battled Burlington in a back-and-forth game that kept fans on edge. The Thunder pushed through with a 5-4 victory, earning their spot in the championship final.
The final brought a familiar opponent: Ottawa. Paris matched their pace and pressure, heading into halftime tied after a disciplined defensive effort. The second half remained tight, but Ottawa managed to slip in a single goal. Despite Paris’ relentless push to equalize, time ran out, and the Thunder finished with a proud silver-medal result.
This team’s growth, resilience, and heart were on full display all weekend. Paris U12A represented their community with pride and proved they are among on of the strongest teams.
Congratulations to the athletes, coaches, and families on an incredible season.
