A special thanks to the coaching staff, fans, and in particular the players for an exciting finale to our regular season. Next and final stop, the Provincials. Go Ice!

• Bantam 3 Crunch won their division by beating the host team in the Gold Medal game.
• Peewee 2 Arctic (who went 0-20 in the regular season) won the semi-finals vs. Kanata in their house after 4 rounds of shootouts. Great goals by Ella, Margeaux, and the game winner by Ryley, coupled with outstanding goalie performance by Caitlin, allowed the Arctic wind to blow into the finals! Huge parental cheering, and high spirits, were just not enough on the huge ice surface. The Arctic may have come second in the finals but came first in everyone's hearts!

Congratulations on the 2nd place finish girls. We are all very proud of your efforts.

The strangeness began as the Ice celebrated what they thought was their first goal, by Danielle on a feed from Megan on a beautifully executed two on one in the first period. Although no whistle was audible before the goal, it was waived off and the Ice was called for an interference penalty, leaving the team a player down instead of a goal up. It was one of 16 penalties generated by the referee, eight a side, leaving the girls on both teams wondering what call was coming next, and for what. But the team hunkered down, kept their cool and continued their game plan, eventually scoring from the blue line and then from some hard work down low.

Congratulations ladies!
