Great weekend for U19 ringette

Strathmore Ice   

 

The Strathmore Ice U19 ringette team squared off with Rockyford for the first time this season in an exhibition road game on Nov. 2. Rockyford came out strong and took a seven goal lead over Strathmore, but the Ice hung in and managed to stay focused and score two goals back-to-back, thanks to Gabi LeMoine and Kyra Keer in the second period (with both goals being assisted by Tassia Rushford). 

The Ice girls remained focused and composed throughout the game with only giving up one penalty during the hard-hitting contest. The final score was 9-2 in favour of Rockyford.

The Calgary Bow View Vandals came to Strathmore for our first league game on Nov. 3. These two teams proved to be very well matched and provided fans an excellent and exciting game indeed. 

Calgary took a 2-1 lead in the first period, but not to be out done Strathmore cameback in the second to tie the game up at two goals a piece. Again Calgary took the lead with 11 minutes left in the period and again, the Ice tied it back up less than a minute later to bring the final score to a 3-3 tie. Very well done to Shae Lane for achieving her first hat-trick of the season, and again to Gabi LeMoines for her assists.
