The Georgian Triangle area is set to welcome a fresh youth hockey initiative with the arrival of the South Georgian Bay Riptide, aiming to bolster the skill development of aspiring young hockey players.
The development program aims to make waves in the communities of Blue Mountains, Collingwood, Wasaga, and surrounding areas. Designed for U7, U8, and U9 age groups, the program offers an affordable, safe, and competitive environment for young players to hone their skills on the ice.
Craig Cescon, head coach of the Meaford Knights Junior A team, and his brother Brent have partnered up to bring this opportunity to life. In Coach Cescon’s words: “Our main focus is the development of the children. We are providing families with an affordable, safe, fun and competitive hockey program.”
The Riptide’s inaugural tryouts for the winter 2024/2025 season are slated for Sunday, April 7, and Sunday, April 14, at the new Wasaga arena. For more information, email Brent Cescon at sgbriptidehockey@gmail.com
