To all Chebucto families,

We are fast approaching the end of the 2023/ 24 competitive season, and playoffs are in full swing at all levels.

Best of luck to all teams still competing in the CMHL playoffs as we approach championship Saturday on March 30. As teams are finalized for the games on Saturday, another email will be sent to acknowledge any of our teams who are going to be playing for a championship banner in their respective divisions.

On that note, I want to acknowledge and congratulate our U13AAA team for winning their playoff series against TASA over the weekend and securing one of the 7 spots in the upcoming provincial tournament. They will be competing from April 4 to 7 in Springhill for the right to attend Atlantics later in the spring. Best of luck to head coach Justin Ritcey, his assistants and all the players.

GO CHEBUCTO GO!!!
