Season Outlook

Last season was about building a foundation. This year, it’s about results. The Applekings have set their sights high, and with strong goaltending, a deep defensive core, and plenty of offensive firepower, the team is ready to battle for a top spot in the standings.

The support from fans and the community will once again play a huge role. Beaver Valley Community Centre was a tough place for opponents to play last year, and the Applekings are counting on that same energy as they chase their playoff goals.

Be there this season. Be loud. Be part of the Applekings journey.
