🏒🚨 In our dressing room at the Andrew H. McCain Arena, the wall says “Axemen Today… Axemen Forever”, well if this doesn’t breathe life to it!

Former Axemen Mike Sim, Scott Roles, Shane Reagh, Lew Robicheau, Bryce Classen, Jamie Drew, and Mark Cairns had their sons play together in the Bender Cup tournament in Halifax this past weekend, and in true Axemen fashion, they won the tournament!

So great to see the Axemen legacy continue through to the next generation! Congratulations to all and we love those jerseys! 🫶
