After a long and incredibly difficult evaluation process, we’re ready to announce the final roster for the 2025 U15B Elgin Thames 73’s
Before listing the names, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank every single player who came out to tryouts. This was by far the most stressful and emotional round of decisions I’ve had to make as a coach — because truthfully, every one of you deserved to be here. You gave everything, and it showed.
We spent extra time trying to find a way to make it work with an additional two skaters because they absolutely earned their spot just like everyone else. Unfortunately, we are only allowed to officially roster 15 skaters and 2 goalies — and that limitation ultimately made this decision even more painful.
That being said, if your name is not on the list, please know this is not the end of the road. We’d like to offer AP (Affiliated Player) opportunities and keep an open line of communication throughout the season. If you’re interested in staying involved, please reach out to me directly. We want the AP players to be a part of the team.
