Our Stories

A huge congratulations to the IRCOM U17/18 boys on an outstanding indoor season. They finished as champions for 2024/2025. Their hard work, teamwork, and dedication paid off in the finals last weekend.
Shoutout to the U16 Girls team for a strong season and a well-earned playoff run. Our U14 Boys also made an impressive midseason comeback, securing a playoff spot. We are incredibly proud of all our athletes and deeply grateful to our coaches for their leadership, encouragement, and support—on and off the field.
Thank you to our staff, parents, and community members who showed up, cheered on our teams, and supported our youth throughout the season.
A special thank you to The Winnipeg Foundation (@wpgfdn )for its generous support. Through the community grant, we were able to provide pre-game snacks, training gear, and help remove barriers like transportation—ensuring all youth had the opportunity to participate. Your contributions make a real impact, and we are truly grateful.

Circle of Friends is a key part of our After School Program, designed to support 12 and 13-year-olds as they transition from children’s programs into youth programming with confidence. Through this program, young youth take part in more independent outings—like visiting The Leaf—while also learning about self-care, personal hygiene, and personal safety. They build friendships, develop essential skills, and gain the knowledge they need to navigate this new stage safely. Creating a supportive space, we help ensure a smooth transition and set them up for success in our youth programs.
