St. Thomas Shock U10 boys, IEM
tournament champions. The Shock defeated Guelph
Royal City, 35-27, in the final February 5, in
Newmarket. "Our team defence," Shock coach Mike
Luyks said. "As coaches, we have been talking
about it from practice number one and for young
kids we're especially proud of how they have all
bought into it. We've got an awesome group of
kids and families and the kids keep progressing
as the year goes on." The Shock have a
tournament in Brantford later this month, before
their Ontario Cup in March. (photo /
