Tournament Finalists!
Silver medals returned home around the necks of sixteen young ladies who played their hearts out this past weekend at the annual Woodstock Wildcats tournament.
A shootout loss in the final to the host team saw the squad come oh so close to gold. Always giving her team a chance to win, Storm goalie Brooklyn "The Wall" MacLeod stood on her head time after time in all four games allowing just 7 goals over the weekend.
The girls endured a tough schedule, playing late Friday night, holding on to win 3-2 over the London Devilettes. Leading the way, game MVP Dayna "Roadrunner" Robbins, let those in Woodstock know it was going to be a long weekend for anyone in her way.
A quick turnaround saw game two played early Saturday morning against Stoney Creek. Despite some questionable officiating the girls battled to a 3-3 draw. Left winger Lizzie "Goldie Locks" Swain controlled the game and earned MVP game honours.
With the tie, the girls received some well deserved time off and a bye in to the semi finals early Sunday morning. Zorra Fusion were the next victims as they crashed head on into the Brooklyn Wall. MacLeod posted the shutout and earned game MVP.
Sunday afternoon's final, saw either team worthy of being crowned champs in a fantastic final that had coaches, families and fans on the edge of their seats throughout. The tournaments top two goalies carried their respective teams all the way through a close and hard fought game. Completing a strong tournament centering the top line, Kara "Dangle" Duffy received game MVP honours.
A great weekend for all those involved with the Storm, saw all three lines and defensive pairs work hard and and continue to show just how much they have improved this year.
Congratulations girls on a great weekend!
