Harvesters Split Weekend Road Games After Thanksgiving Break
By Adrianna McGinnis, Oct. 19, 2025
After a well-deserved Thanksgiving break, the Elmvale Harvesters were back in action this past weekend for a pair of road games. The weekend off gave players the opportunity to enjoy time with family and visit the Elmvale Fall Fair, where they had the chance to connect with fans. The team proudly entered a float in the parade, helped with setup and takedown inside the arena, and hosted a popular booth where supporters could stop by, chat, and pick up Harvesters merchandise.
A big thank you goes out to everyone who came by. It’s incredible to see so many people around town repping the Harvesters! For those who missed out, team merchandise will be available at all home games.
Friday, October 17 – Elmvale Harvesters 5, Georgian Bay Applekings 1

Elmvale’s offense was firing on all cylinders, with goals from Dylan Palomaki, Jordan Fuller (2), Brad Kuepfer, and Jacob Kelly. Goaltender Andrew Best made an outstanding debut, standing tall between the pipes and turning aside key scoring chances to earn his first win in a Harvesters uniform.
