After losing in the finals in Aston, PA at Thanksgiving and over the Christmas Break at the Crabtown Showdown in Laurel, MD, the NoVA16U AA team finally broke through with a tournament championship over President's Day weekend in Philadelphia, PA. Stepping up to play in the 18A Division, NoVA swept through round robin play with wins over the Blue Ridge Bears, Warwick Wildcats and West Carleton (Ontario) Crusaders. In a rematch against their Canadian rivals, the Dogs scored on the power play with two minutes left to secure a 4-3 win.

The 16AA's would wrap up their highly successful season with a tough semi final loss to Reston the following weekend in the CBHL playoffs
