Windsor area was extremely important for the entire Windsor AAA Zone association”, said Matt
Zuccato, Vice-President of Windsor AAA Zone. “Playing at the regional U18 championship represents a
huge accomplishment for teams and their players. We want to be able to celebrate this achievement,
and the journey that brought them here, in a very special way.” Leigh-Ann King, owner and operator of

saying “we are looking forward to welcoming teams from all across Ontario to this event in April and feel
that our facility will be able to offer players and their families a unique hockey and life experience”.
