In late November our junior programs came together to celebrate their 2023 seasons. This was a great event with over 75 people attending. 2023 was another successful campaign for our junior programs. Our U14 team went on to have an (11-1) record and finished the season on a high note with winning the winter indoor Gjøvik tournament. Our U17 team came just short of achieving their overall goal of winning the NM title. The guys lost a close game in the finals but took home the silver medal.
Our coaches had a tough time picking the winners for these individual awards. There were so many outstanding nominations for each award. Nevertheless, these are our 2023 junior award winners.
