Hockey
The Varsity Hockey team played Country Day in a fast paced game of hockey against a big, hulking team of quick skating, physical boys. After some great saves from Spencer Whitnall and some miraculous efforts from forwards such as Peter Keane, Noah Aaron and Chris Sanders, the boys unfortunately fell behind in the first period by a large margin. Facing a big gap in scoring, we did not quit and were able to put up a great fight til the final buzzer. Cole Morrison zipped an absolute lazer past the goalie in the 2nd period, breaking the shutout of the opposing goalie. Unfortunately, Crestwood fell 9-1 to Country Day.
The U-14 Hockey took their undefeated record of 5-0 to Country Day School in what turned out to be a very close game that was determined in the final minutes. Crestwood led for most of the game but found themselves in an unfavorable position, however, the team prevailed after Samuel Li was able to bang in a goal after a scrum in front of the net with 50 secs left to play in the game. Final score, Crestwood 6, Country Day 5. Great play by all and special mentions go out to Roy Pejcinovski for another good game in net and to Cole Eichler, Samuel Li and Eric Chen for another multi-point game. Keep up the good work, the coaching staff is very proud of you.

Our Jr. Lions also traveled to St. Andrews College. The Lions got off to a slow start but picked up in the second quarter.

The U-14 Boys Basketball team played a great game against St. Michael’s College School beating them 71-54 remaining undefeated for the season. Under the leadership of Elijah Fisher, Jaden Langley Thomas and Jesse Codron the team got off to a great start and never looked back. Special mention must go out to Liam MacInnis for his point contribution, Shaan Kapur draining a last second shot, Ben Haar for his hustle and positive contribution, and Jaden Zelyuk for his work on both ends of the floor. Coach Lyons and Pagano are very proud of the boys.
Curling
Crestwood’s Boys and U-14 curling teams travelled to Richmond Hill Curling Club for games against the York School and TMS. Both games were nail biters, with scores seesawing back and forth, and the decision coming down to the final stones.
While both games ended in losses, it literally came down to a matter of inches. Good curling boys, and we’ll get them next time.
