The Waterloo Siskins organization gathered at the Alpine Club on the evening of Thursday, April 23, to officially celebrate the conclusion of the 2025-26 season. It was a night dedicated to reflection, community, and honoring the hard work of the athletes, staff, and volunteers who make this historic franchise possible.
The evening was highlighted by a fantastic meal provided by Conestoga Catering, and we would like to extend a special thank you to their team for their exceptional service and delicious food that fueled our celebration.
Honoring Our Graduates
While the night was a celebration of the entire roster, the spotlight shone brightest on our graduating 2005-born players. As these young men conclude their Junior hockey careers, the Siskins organization wishes to thank them for their dedication, leadership, and the impact they have left on the locker room. Whether they are moving on to post-secondary education or continuing their hockey journeys at the next level, they will always be a part of the
Siskins family.
