Congratulations to iPlayHockey’s\u00a0Team of the Month for July\u00a02019 – the Lac La Biche Clippers!<\/p>\n

This team\u00a0had a late start to their season as they\u00a0originally didn\u2019t have coaches in place, so three weeks in some great people stepped up and volunteered as coaches. All of them got their certifications but had never coached hockey before. They just couldn\u2019t let these kids miss out on the season.<\/p>\n

So starting behind and taking some time to gel as a team was hard. So for some team building they decided to collect donations through all of their December home games for the Out of the Elements men\u2019s and women\u2019s shelter. They collected items like socks, gloves, touques, toiletries, etc.<\/p>\n

The team played through the season and finished regular season in the top four. Which means they made playoffs, with many close games and making the final round they set up to play the team that remained undefeated the entire season.<\/p>\n

They ended up defeating this team in two very close games to win the league banner. So what started out rough ended in an amazing season finish. This group of boys played with their heart and soul this year,\u00a0learning what it means to be a team player and to play as a team. They developed so much and it proves perseverance can help you reach amazing goals.<\/p>\n

They couldn\u2019t have done it without their\u00a0coaches and their hard work and support. For some end of season celebrations they got to play at Rogers Place on Edmonton Oilers ice!<\/p>\n
