The U-12 Santos completed an undefeated regular season by capturing provincial gold for tier 2 Futsal.
A 9-3 win over the Fort McMurray Fury got the tournament off to a positive start. In game two the Santos met a Calgary Foothills team looking for some redemption from a regular season loss. Foothills had the Santos down 3-1 until a second half rally by the Blizzard boys clinched their second victory 5-3. The Santos then took game three 7-1 over the Edmonton Drillers.
Congratulations on an outstanding season boys! Your coaches and parents are very proud of you.

Blizzard Boys Dominate!!!
Blizzard boys under 12's dominated the Tier II Provincial Finals in Red Deer, with both the Blizzard Real 2000 boys and the Blizzard Wanderers 2001 boys winning their respective groups and advancing to the final. In a fantastic advertisement for Blizzard soccer, the large crowd was kept entertained by some lively and skillful soccer.
Tony Nagrani put the Real 1-0 up in the first half, and a fine penalty save by Liam Collens kept that the scoreline at half time. The younger Wanderers team piled on the pressure in the second half, but a resolute Real defence kept them at bay and in the last minute Dante Kohrs added a second for Real with Wanderers stretched looking for the equaliser.
Both teams posed for the photo after the medal presentation. Huge credit to the boys and coaches of both teams for such a great game.

Riot Bring Home Silver
The Blizzard Riot Under 16 Boys Team returned from their trip to Portland with a silver medal in the adidas Beaverton Cup. The boys went undefeated through round robin play, won their semi final game quite handily and then lost a heart breaker in the final, in penalty kicks. Way to go Riot!
Prior to their playing in the adidas Beaverton Cup, the Riot team attended the exclusive boys residential camp run by the MLS Portland Timbers. It was a great experience for the boys as they were training and playing with the best 16-19 year olds in the Portland area. Two boys, Nigel Stebanuk and Colin Reynolds, were asked to return to attend the Portland Timbers Academy Tryouts. These tryouts will take place August 1 and 2. Best of luck to those boys.

Excellent Weekend for Spurs Keeper!
In Kelowna this past weekend, Blizzard Spurs keeper Cailyn won a bronze medal for the 'Punt, Throw and Kick' competition, and a silver medal for the Cannon competition. She had the second highest combined score in her division for the 3 events and was in the finals, but lost out in the final goalie war. She is very happy and proud, as this is her first goalie war, and she receives 2 medals and a runner-up plaque in her age group. Wonderful experience for her, however 3 hours in the hot sun was very tiring.
Cailyn is extremely dedicated in her keeper role. Her team-mates, coach David, Monika and Phil of EKT MVP Soccer Elite Keeper Training are all quite proud of her performance and dedication.
Congratulations Cailyn!!

Santos Win Silver
The U-12 Blizzard Santos took home a silver medal from the CMSA Presidents Cup over the May long weekend. After finishing the round robin undefeated, they met up against a feisty Foothills team in the final game. Foothills scored three early goals to quickly put the Santos on their heels. After a spirited half time talk, the boys came out strong and cut the deficit to one goal. There were numerous chances to tie the game but we just couldn't find the back of the net. This young group of U-12's showed character, determination and a sense of sportsmanship well beyond their years. Congratulations Santos!!
