The girls hit the ice early Friday morning with a match-up against Team England. A 1-0 win plus 3 additional wins in the round-robin against Saugeen-Maitland, Windsor, and Compuware, advanced the girls to Sunday’s semi-final against Guelph. Tied 1-1 after regulation, OT solved nothing setting up a 3 player shoot-out. Shoot-out goals by Lauren Dyck and Kortney Hill was enough as Cat Belanger kept the door shut by stoning all of Guelph’s shooters. The final was another hard fought battle as Saugeen was looking for revenge. The Saugeen-Maitland tender stood on her head as the Wildcats pelted her with shots, but did manage to get one past her. That was enough as Kelsey Biron closed the door. Congrats to the MCA Wildcats on the tournament win. Way 2 represent, Wildcats!

They got it, just barely, rallying for a 2-2 draw. The girls then played their best game of the tournament, blanking Kanata 3-0 in the championship game. Congratulations to Sierra, Jenni, Isabella, Tessa, Lindsay, Laura, Nicole, Lindsey, Amy, Jada, Meagan, Lauren, Rhys, Sydney, Fiona and Sophie. Great start, ladies! Oct 18 - Congratulations BCBB for an outstanding performance this past weekend in winning GOLD at the Clarington Applefest Challenge. An undefeated round robin record earned the girls a bye to the semi-final where they put on a forechecking and backchecking display that had the crowd on their feet in appreciation. The final was a close, tight checking affair. Our girls gained a 1-0 lead in the first period and demonstrated unbelievable poise and discipline to shut down the opposition through the next two periods for the gold medal victory. Special mention goes out to Alyssa (the Sniper) Lee who scored 6 goals in five games including a hat trick in one, and Braeden (the Killer B) Boyce in nets who recorded three shutouts and allowed only 2 goals over the entire tournament.
