As we head into the final stretch of the season, we’re looking forward to the playoffs as well as upcoming year-end events for all of our teams!
Shark Attack Tournament Recap
Another year, another amazing Shark Attack Tournament! We welcomed 48 teams to Cwench Center, including 9 Humber Valley Sharks teams, for an exciting weekend of hockey. Thank you to all the players, coaches, volunteers, and families who made this event such a success!
A very special thank you goes out to Caitlin Evans and Grant Henderson who once again did a fantastic job planning and coordinating the Shark Attack Tournament! 👏
Goalie Training Program Wrap-Up
Our goaltending training program wraps up on March 9th. A huge thank you to everyone who participated in and supported our goalie training program this season! Developing the next generation of goaltenders is a key part of our program, and we’re thrilled with the engagement that we’ve seen. We’ll be back next season to continue building strong netminders for the future!

NTC Drill of the Month
We’re bringing you another fantastic drill from @NTCHockey this month! These drills are a great way to complement on-ice training and keep your skills sharp. Check out the drill video and give it a try at home or during dryland sessions.
Hockey Stick Front Squat
Before all the flashy jumps and advanced moves, strong hockey players start with the basics! This foundational squat builds strength, balance, and mobility—crucial for powerful skating and staying strong on the ice.
As always, a huge thank you to our coaches, volunteers, parents, and everyone who makes Humber Valley Hockey such a special community. Your dedication and support are what make everything we do possible. Finally, best of luck to all our Sharks teams battling it out in the playoffs—we’re cheering you on every step of the way! That’s it for now—stay connected with us on Facebook & Instagram (@humbervalleyhockey) for more updates!
Go Sharks! 🦈🏒
