POWNAL, PEI – The Confederation Bridge is about to see a lot of black and orange this weekend.

The TASA U13 C Ducks Black, fresh off a dominant run that saw them finish as the #1 ranked team in the Metro Minor Hockey Gold League after their last playoff game, are officially taking their show on the road. The squad has touched down in Prince Edward Island for the highly anticipated High Valley A Tournament, marking the first away tournament in the team’s current campaign.

A Dynasty in the Making?

To understand the hype surrounding this road trip, you have to look at the "flight path" this team has taken over the last year. This isn't just a team having a lucky month; it's a program built on consistency.

Just two months ago, the Ducks Black etched their names into the history books at the 2025 Kyle Henneberry Memorial Tournament. In a display of pure hockey dominance, they went an undefeated 5-0-0 to capture the Gold Medal. That championship pedigree followed them back into regular-season play, where they battled through a grueling schedule to claim the top spot in the Gold League standings with a record that made the rest of the league take notice.

Bridging the Gap

While the Ducks have ruled the roost in the Metro Minor circuit, the High Valley A Tournament represents a new challenge: the unknown. The Ducks are scheduled for three confirmed preliminary games against top-tier PEI talent.

Going to the first away tournament is a rite of passage. It’s about more than just the scoreboard; it’s about the team bonding in the hotel, the pre-game meals, and representing TASA pride outside of our home rink.

The Game Plan

The Ducks start their round-robin play this Friday. Success in the first three games will determine their seeding for the knockout rounds. For fans unable to make the trek across the bridge, the team has confirmed that every game will be live-streamed on YouTube, ensuring that "Ducks Nation" can cheer from the living room.

Whether they are crashing the crease in Pownal or making a splash in the hotel pool (literally—word is the team hotel has a great one), the Ducks Black are looking to prove that their #1 ranking travels well.
