North Toronto CI faces off against Northern S.S. in Quadruple Header

On Friday, Dec 17th at Leaside Memorial Gardens, NT faced off against rival Northern SS in a friendly ice hockey quadruple header.

 

Players were excited to get in some game action before the Holidays and represent their school before another pause in school sports.

 

In game #1, the Varsity Girls skated to a 10-1 victory. Following this game, the Senior Boys came out on the wrong side of a 7-3 loss, while the Junior Boys fell to Northern’s Tier 1 Junior squad 5-1, but rebounded with a 5-1 victory of their own over the NSS Tier 2 Juniors.

 

A fun day was had by both teams and coaches.

 

If Public Health and the TDSB allow for it, both schools hope to run the Annual Broadway Bowl under a similar structure at North Toronto Arena later in the Spring.
