Eleven 11UA Aurora Tigers graced their hockey team\u2019s sponsor with their presence on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a gesture of thanks for owner Matteo Pinchera\u2019s support of their rep squad for the 2024-25 season, Coach Kevin Hart\u2019s team\u2014along with dads and siblings \u2013 jumped into the chairs for a haircut in the south Aurora barber shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With eight players returning and seven new players joining this year\u2019s squad, Coach Hart used the barber shop visit as \u201ca team-building activity to set up the upcoming season. We wanted to give back to Matteo, our sponsor, for his generous support of our hockey club and go above and beyond just having a patch on our jerseys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinchera was taken by the gesture of the team he is sponsoring, reflected on his own hockey-playing days, and expressed his need to support the Tigers\u2019 hockey club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a business owner, I want to be a staple in the community.  Paying it forward is important to me after playing in Etobicoke for Humberview.  It\u2019s important for local business to put back into the community, especially when it comes to kids\u2019 sports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The welcoming and energetic owner of CREAM barber shop demonstrated his deft dual capacity to keep the team cool on a muggy Saturday by cutting freezies for his 11U customers while tending to Caleb in his barber chair to transform the Tiger into, as one mom noted, \u201ca K-Pop star!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CREAM\u2019s dream team of five barbers coiffed the young Tigers and joined them for a celebratory photo to commemorate their start-of-summer haircuts.\u00a0 It was clear that this group of rep players is receiving vital lessons about gratitude from their dedicated coaching staff.\u00a0 It was clearly a win-win-win scenario for a local hockey team, a generous business owner, and the broader community in south Aurora on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
