Osgoode Richmond Romans U11 Win Gold in Jay Peak
Romans Rise to the Occasion at Jay Peak, Capture Gold in Gritty Finale.
Against a backdrop of snow, mountains, and high-stakes hockey, the Osgoode Richmond Romans U11 team delivered games to remember at the Green Mountain Avalanche tournament in Jay Peak.
The Romans’ path to the championship was anything but easy. Through a demanding slate of games played against American teams, the Romans posted one hard-fought tie and two emphatic shutouts, results that spoke not only to their skill but to their discipline and commitment to playing as a unit. Each line rolled with purpose, each shift built on the last, and every player bought into the same goal.
What stood out most was how the Romans came together as a team. In a tournament marked by challenging rules and stretches of rough, physical play, the players showed grit and perseverance beyond their years. They held their own under pressure, responding to adversity not with frustration, but with composure and resolve.
The atmosphere at Jay Peak felt reminiscent of the fiercest rivalries in hockey — a fitting comparison to the intensity expected when Canada and the United States clash at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. Like those iconic international battles, this tournament demanded resilience, unity, and belief. The Romans brought all three.
By the time the final horn sounded, the result was clear. Through teamwork, determination, and a refusal to back down, the Osgoode Richmond Romans skated off as champions, claiming gold and leaving no doubt that they had earned it. For this young squad, Jay Peak was more than just a tournament — it was a statement.
