It was a competitive hockey season that saw Belle River and St. Anne move on to SWOSSAA this past season. "Both had deep, talented squads," said convenor Tim Edwards who shared this year's allstars with Powerplay Sports.
"For the selections, a lot of teams picked top end, younger skilled players. That indicates players from the area will either be playing at a higher level in the future, which is great, or high school hockey down here is about to kick it up a notch," Edwards said. "As usual, the league showed it's a great option for kids to be participating in WECSSAA play for their school and represent their hometown minor hockey team at the same time."
