After it was previously revealed that Kitchener D8 high schools St. Mary's and Resurrection received Heinbuch bids, it has been brought to my attention that the other Waterloo Region schools that will play in the prestigious tournament are a pair of Waterloo schools --- and this past year's WCSSAA finalists --- Bluevale CI and SJAM.In years previous, WCSSAA received 3 entries but this year it appears as though only 2 WCSSAA clubs will participate. Now, this isn't to say that WCSSAA has dropped off (this past year, 50% of AAAA semifinalists in both junior & senior were WCSSAA schools); but the other WCSSAA contenders for a spot may have just fallen short. I'm just guessing here, but I would think Southwood, who finished 5th in WCSSAA this past year with a young squad, likely just fell short in consideration.
The Heinbuch has gained a reputation as one of the top early-season tournaments in all of Ontario. Last year, all three OFSAA AAAA medalists participated in the tournament.
