The Kerrobert Pee Wee Tigers started the season with 14 players and Coach Cyril Reschny at the helm. Before the fist game Coach Reschny seriously broke his leg playing for the Kerrobert Senior Tigers. The coaching duties were then assumed by Gary Anderson and Angus Phillips just before the season opener.

The Pee Wees home opener hosted Biggar on Nov. 6 and found the edge in a hard fought battle 6-5. On Nov. 12 they traveled to Kindersley to win an exciting game 5 - 3. Kerrobert finished the Biggar series on Nov. 13 when the hard hitting Tigers traveled to Biggar to prevail in a 5-3 win. On Nov. 14 Kerrobert finished off a 3 game in 3 day road trip with a 9-3 victory over the Eston/Leader Pee Wees to move atop the Hwy. 14 league at 4 wins and 0 losses. The team has come together and all the players have been contributing to the team's success with passing, hard hitting, good defense and the ability to fill the net so far.

On Nov. 20 The Tigers hosted the Kerrobert Pee Wee Tournament with Wilkie, Rosetown and Biggar trying to snatch the big trophy. Kerrobert handled the Rosetown Redwings in the opening game 9-2 although the score didn't reflect the exciting play as Kerrobert goal tender Dustin Waldner had his stone wall up and frustrated the Rosetown team. Wilkie defeated Biggar 13-5 to put them on a collision course with the Tigers for the final game. Rosetown took out Biggar in the B side final to win the medal. In the hard skating final game, Wilkie jumped out to a 3-2 lead over the Tigers heading into the 3rd period but something happened between periods to inspire the Tigers to move ahead when Connor Phillips #9 contributed points in the next 4 markers to take the crowd pleasing final game 6-4 to finish off a very successful tournament. Chad Riendeau accepted the big cup on behalf of the Kerrobert Pee Wee Tigers and Hustler awards for Kerrobert went to Adam Schraefel #16 and Andrew Morris #17 for their efforts.

Kerrobert will host Unity at 2:00 PM on Saturday Nov. 27 for Minor Hockey day. We hope to see many fans out for a day of excitement at the rink
