The 14U Bobcats had a rough morning against Newark Rousch at Lou & Gibb Reese Ice Arena on 01 October, going down 1-2 and 0-6. Practice doesn't begin in Athens until Monday, and it showed in the team's stamina and cohesiveness. Cameron and Cade were missed for their experience at the Bantam level and size. Ian had 27 saves in game 1 and 20 saves in game 2. Goal was scored by Caden with assist by Luke.

The 14U Bobcats won 2 and lost 2 at the BTHL seeding tournament on 16 September. Goals were scored on the day by Mason, Bostic, Cade, Emma, and Luke, with assists from Bostic, Luke, and Landon.
