The 2023-24 U15AAA Major Dieppe Flyers are champions of the U15 division of the 42nd edition of the popular Monctonian tournament.

The team held on in the third period to defeat the Moncton Hawks 2-1 in the grand finale Sunday noon at the Superior Propane Centre.

The game between these two great southeastern rivals produced some exciting play, and the goaltenders had to step up on several occasions, especially the finals' MVP, Flyers' goaltender Xavier LeBlanc, who had a field day in the third period when play was mostly in his zone. He didn't allow a goal.

Miguel Doiron (Nolan Robinson, Owen Shediac) on the power play early in the third period and Owen Shediac (Nolan McGillis) midway through found the target for the Flyers. Jacob Veilleux (MacPhee, Melanson) got the Hawks lone goal near the end of the middle period to give his team a 1-0 lead. There were no scores after the first period.

Dax Doiron was in net for the Hawks. Xavier Leblanc took the win for the Flyers.
