Season Ending Message from the President
I would like to first take this opportunity to personally thank everyone in our organization, from the coaches and training staff, to our athletes and their families, for all your time and effort this past season.
The season certainly had its ups and downs, to say the least!
After suffering through a tough start and a frustrating 3 & 13 record, things took a significant turn for the better. There was a great deal of optimism that followed as we ran up a 12-5-4 record after the Showcase Tournament in Elliot Lake in late November, arguably becoming one of the top teams in the league and climbing all the way up towards 6th or 7th place from the bottom of the ladder. Then finally, we experienced the exasperation and disappointment of being struck down by numerous injuries just prior to playoffs, seriously reducing our roster and our realistic chances to take a run at a title!
Such is the game, and in the end, despite the disappointment, it's that 'roller-coaster' of emotions that make sports such an exhilarating experience to begin with.
That all being said, as the remaining teams compete in the GMHL playoffs to declare a champion for 2009-2010, we will put our recent playoff disappointment behind us and turn our thoughts toward building our club for next season.
To that end, there are a number of substantial changes on the way.
First, the team announces that we have parted ways with Head Coach Josh Boni as of last week. The decision was made after Josh missed practice and two vital games the last week of the season, including our playoff win in Algoma. We wish Josh the best of luck in the future.
There are other staffing issues to be addressed as well, and announcements will be made in the coming days and weeks.
As for our roster for next season, it is obvious there are some members of our team who did not develop as we'd hoped, while others blossomed into solid Jr. A players. In order to compete at the top of the table in the ever-improving GMHL, we need to improve at every position, and eliminate the weak links on our team who cannot compete at this level.
We will be making decisions shortly as to whom we'd like to have back on our team, and whom we'll be releasing from our program. Meetings will take place in the next two to three weeks, with corresponding announcements on our website.
In the meantime, we'll be announcing spring tryout dates very shortly as well, and interested players should use the faceless Moose player on the left of our home page to link to tryout information and schedules.
Hockey is a wonderful game, and it's been my pleasure to work with young athletes for many years. Our program is never perfect, but we strive to improve it every year, and next year will be no exception.
I'd like to wish everyone a fantastic spring and summer, and look forward to getting started all over again next September. Again, stay tuned for further news and information!
Sincerely,
Marshall Uretsky
President
Toronto Canada Moose Jr. A Hockey Club

FRIDAY, FEB. 26
Moose season comes to an end, without even lacing up the skates!
In a decision reached by club owners earlier today, in consideration of the Moose team's failure to make tonight's Qualifying Round Game 3 in Thessalong to play Algoma, the Avalanche will win by default, thereby claiming the series 2 games to 1, and moving on the Quarter Final Round and a date with Elliot Lake.
The Moose came to the difficult decision to cancel their travel plans due to the storm system thoughout Ontario, and a makeup game could not be arranged tomorrow evening, the only night possible in order for the winner to be available to start the next series Sunday against the Bobcats.
The Moose chose to put safety first, and though the weather did not turn out to be as severe as forecasted, we did our due diligence in order to make as informed decision as possible. We regret that the season will come to an end in this manner, but team management along with players' parents were not comfortable having our team make the journey!
Stay tuned for further news as the team winds down the year!
