Updated Sept. 2007 in Dave's own words: "I'm at Western in London studying Business Management and Organization Studies with a specialization in Finance and Administration.  Apparently I missed the cutoff for intramural hockey so I won't be playing any hockey at all until second semester at the earliest which is frustrating but probably will help my marks.  About half of the floor is from Ottawa which means we've got a seriously bitter Leafs-Sens rivalry forming right now.  As for the best Redmen memory, its pretty obvious nothing can beat game 6 in Orangeville, definitely the best team I've ever been a part of.  Good luck this year, an OMHA repeat would be awesome."

Posted 2007 in Eric's own words - Well I am currently enrolled at the Schulich School of Business at York University, and trying to get into Accounting or Marketing. I still remember where I was when Orangeville scored in OT in game 5 to this day and wish that I could do it all over again. It was the greatest year that I ever played for Newmarket, especially game 5 against Aurora. For all of you on the team reading this, I can't tell you how much it meant to me to lace up my skates and wear that "N" on my chest. I know its not the NHL but it was the most fun I ever had on the ice. Wearing the 'C' for a team as devoted and hard working as the one I played for was truly an honor, and despite the obvious cheesiness I will remember it until the day I die.

Posted 2007 in Cory's own words - I am currently going to Brock University in St. Catharine’s Ontario, majoring in business. As far as hockey goes I’m still playing what Brock refers to as intramural hockey, not sure if I would consider it hockey but its close enough. This past year I played on the varsity golf team at Brock and hopefully I can do so again next year. My fondest memory of playing Midget for Newmarket is definitely (which Coach Mike reminded me of) holding the record for most PIM by a goaltender, its an honor I hold my head high for and for any tender that thinks they can match or surpass it, feel free I would be thoroughly impressed
