The Smiths Falls Bears finished atop the Robinson Division and 2nd overall in the CCHL.
Head Coach and General Manager Pat Malloy said there was steady play from returning players and newcomers alike.
The Bears were ranked the 11th best Jr. A team in Canada by the CJHL by season’s end with a 39-10-2-3 record.
Malloy says all the numbers support the great regular season the historic CCHL club had.
As always, Malloy says their aspirations remain with winning the Bogart Cup.
They fell in 2022 to Ottawa and 2024 to Navan in the league final, and to the eventual champion Rockland Nationals in the semifinals last year.
