U13 A OHF Championships

Get ready for an unforgettable experience in Lakeshore, a town bursting with hockey pride, rich history, and unbeatable attractions. Nestled just 30 minutes from the USA border and downtown Detroit, Lakeshore is perfectly placed for adventure both on and off the ice.

• Home to the Provincial Junior Hockey League Championship Lakeshore Canadiens, we’re serious about our hockey roots.
• Lakeshore boasts ties to NHL stars, including Aaron Ekblad of the Stanley Cup-winning Florida Panthers and none other than legendary enforcer Tie Domi.
• Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or a thrill-seeker, there’s something for everyone! Sip your way through nearby wineries, roll the dice at Caesars Casino Windsor, or hit the links at a cutting-edge virtual indoor golf complex.
• The Atlas Tube Recreation Center is our pride and joy—a $62 million multi-use facility featuring three NHL-sized rinks, an aquatic center, an indoor track, a library, and courts for everything from basketball to pickleball. Did we mention it’s perfect for a post-game cooldown?

And don’t forget, just a short drive away lies the iconic home turf of the Detroit Red Wings, Tigers, Lions, and Pistons. So, sports fans, this is your ultimate playground!

This squad is no stranger to excellence, and their record proves it.

Under the steady guidance of Head Coach Bryce Bachynski, now in his fourth year at the helm, the team has been racking up wins and milestones like it’s second nature.

Joining the ranks for the 2024-2025 season is Eric LaRue, fresh off his time with the championship-winning Lakeshore Canadiens.

Together, this dynamic coaching duo has been unstoppable, leading the Canadiens to an impressive combined record of 133–37–20–1 over the past four years.

• 2021–2022: 34-9-3
• 2022–2023: 35-17-6
• 2023–2024: A jaw-dropping 45-8-8-1 (#3 ranked ‘A’ centre in Ontario)
• 2024–2025 (to date): 19-3-3 and still #3 in Ontario!

This year’s roster is packed with talent, with 15 of 17 players returning from last season’s amazing squad.

Their trophy case is already filling up with two tournament championships for the current season, adding to last year’s collection of two championships and a Bluewater title. These players have a legacy to uphold, and they’re ready to make their mark on the 2024 OHF U13A Championship.
