Reach for the Top Team

In the 2006-2007 season the Mayfield Reach for the Top team placed first in the Region of Peel qualifying them for the provincials. At the provincials the team placed in the top ten allowing them to progress into the TV round. Here they played one game against Gloucester Secondary School from Ottawa. The team lost but managed to attain a provincial ranking of 7th place.

In the 2007-2008 season the Mayfield Reach for the Top team placed first in the Region of Peel for the third year in a row, with a perfect record allowing the team to advance into the Ontario provincials. At the provincials the team placed in the top 10, once again allowing them into the TV round. In the TV round they played 3 games finishing in 3rd place overall. This year the team also adopted a mascot, a plush holstein named Cicero.

The next year was a rebuilding year for Mayfield having lost their two best players. Despite this they managed to advance into the provincials as the 2nd place team in the Region of Peel. At the provincials they ended the first day of competition with a 2-5 record. This placed them in the 35th position and stopped them from advancing into the TV round.
