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.
