The Caz 12U hockey team, led by head coach Brandon Evancho, skated to victory over Labor Day weekend, capturing the championship at the Labor Day Blast Tournament in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The team dominated the competition, going undefeated throughout the tournament and showcasing their exceptional talent and teamwork.
The Caz 12U team faced off against some of the toughest youth hockey teams in the region, but their combination of solid defense, sharp goaltending, and dynamic offensive plays proved too much for their opponents. From the first puck drop to the final buzzer, Caz controlled the pace of play, delivering standout performances in every game.
This Labor Day Blast victory is a huge milestone for the team. With Coach Evancho leading the charge, the Caz 12U hockey team is set for even greater accomplishments as the season progresses.
Congratulations to the team on their undefeated tournament run!
