Rivalry Week between Henry Street HS and Anderson CVI has been running since 2009 with both schools vying to win the coveted Mayor’s Cup.

At this annual event, administrators, teachers, and students at both schools work together tirelessly to host an exciting series of athletic competitions and pep rallies.

Student-athletes flexed their skills in boys’ basketball, girls’ volleyball, and ended the week with a combination of girls’ and boys’ hockey. Throughout the week, students showed their school spirit by dressing up and decorating their respective schools.

“This year’s tickets sold out in less than eight minutes and we had almost 2,000 people attend our hockey games in Iroquois Park Sports Centre,” said Evan Williams, a teacher at Henry Street HS.

Henry Street HS came out on top in basketball in a tightly contested affair. When it came to volleyball, Anderson CVI got their revenge and evened out the score.

It all came down to hockey to find out who would bring home the Mayor’s Cup.

Both the girls’ and boys’ hockey games were won by Henry Street HS, allowing them to clinch their seventh of 12 Mayor’s Cup victories. Congratulations to students at both schools on the efforts, support, and love of their teams and schools.

Williams added, “Wins are great, but soon forgotten. It’s the energy and experience of the event that brings both schools together which creates memories that last a lifetime!”
