Tri-County Thunder
| Head Coach: | Charles Kissi |
The KW Lighning Tri-County Juel team decided to help their community during the "Pink Weekend" on February 1 and 2. The team held a bake sale throughout the weekend to raise funds to support the Grand River Regional Cancer Centre located in Kitchener. They were able to raise just over $300.00 for this worthy cause! The team wishes to thank family, friends, fans and fellow Juel teams for their support.
