Durham West Girls Hockey

Congratulations to our U18A team for winning Gold at the 2025 Calgary Wickfest Tournament! The team enjoyed a great bonding experience and swept the weekend with a 5-0 record culminating with a victory over the Kanata Rangers in the final - great job girls! Let's Go Lightning!!

Our U15BB played an incredible tournament this past weekend beating the undefeated host team Waterloo Ravens in a 3-1 Final that had everyone on the edge of their seats! The team battled through some tough round robin match-ups to win a tight 1-0 semi-final and move on to the Gold medal game. An all around impressive showing and true team effort - way to go Bolts!

Durham West is excited to announce the U11 Development Stream (DS) Coaching Staff for the 2025–26 season! This year, we’re proud to welcome a true Durham West legacy team — a father-and-daughter trio who have long been part of our Lightning family. John, Jordan, and Peyton Haywood have been involved with Durham West since 2003. Both Jordan and Peyton grew up in the Lightning program, playing their entire minor hockey careers with Durham West and competing at the highest levels — always supported by their dad and Head Coach, John Haywood.

Congratulations to our U18B team for winning Silver in this year's West Northumberland Halloween Havoc Tournament! A buzzer beater in game four secured a spot in the finals where our Bolts team faced off against the Lucan Irish. Let's Go Lightning!!
