Saturday night we played again vs. Ilderton Jets. The girls were passing and setting each other up like we have never seen before. With their determination they walked away with a 2-0 win. Halle Hogg and McKenna Hickling got the goals. This put the team into the championship game vs. St. Thomas. The girls nerves were a on edge as we had played them before. St. Thomas scored in the first period for a 1-0 lead. The Wingham/Lucknow girls didn’t give up and kept their hard shots on net. Halle Hogg got the first goal and 3 minutes later Megan Metske got another. This put the team in the lead 2-0. The girls kept strong and played defensive hockey making the final score 2-1 to win the Gold Championship game. Both goalies, Michelle Angst and Skylar Murray, were reconized by the tournament organizers for their shutout games. This was a great bonding weekend on and off the ice and representing our towns that we are very proud of.
Congratulations to the players and coaches.
