BurlingtonBarracudasMidgetAA: Welcome

Welcome to the Burlington Barracudas Midget AA site for the 2008-2009 hockey season
A word from the Coach:

My name is Tom Fergus and I am very excited to be coaching the Burlington Barracudas Midget AA team this upcoming season. I have been given an opportunity to coach this team and plan on making it a great learning experience for everyone involved. I have a passion for the game of hockey and am looking for players who share this same passion.

I am very committed to this team and in return will be on the lookout for players who share the same commitment for hard work, learning and developing their skills.

This season we will be integrating our practices with both the Junior team and to an extent the Senior AAA team that also plays out of the Barracuda organization. This is a great opportunity to push yourselves and potentially play up as the opportunities present themselves throughout the season. You will be skating with World and Olympic champions, such as Becky Kellar.

Our plan is to enter tournaments both in Canada and the U.S., incorporating an introduction to University hockey life.

We are also in the process of appointing a coordinator whose mandate will be to prepare a dossier for each player, source University scouts and ensure that our players are properly promoted should scholarship opportunities present themselves. We will be proactively seeking opportunities for our players at both the CIS level as well as Division 1 & 3 Universities in the U.S.
