The U13 A girls played in Etobicoke from Friday to Sunday and ended the tournament 6-1.
The weekend began with three back-to-back wins. They defeated the Barrie Sharks 3-1, the Brampton Canadettes 3-1 and the Toronto Leaside Wildcats 2-0.
Saturday began with a 5-1 loss against the Central York Panthers, but the team made a quick recovery and beat the Caledon Coyotes 1-0 in the afternoon.
Sunday morning started strong with a 2-1 win over the Stoney Creek Sabres, and the team wrapped up the weekend with a 2-0 victory over the London Devilettes.
“It’s been nice to see the girls get rewarded for all the dedication and the hours they put in this year,” said Head Coach Craig Hulsman when the team won the Southern League Championship. “Dealing with the COVID break over the new year, I think that convinced a lot of other people to give up but these girls really stayed with it. They’ve done a ton of work off the ice, with fitness and nutrition. It’s just nice to see it all pay off for them.”
The U13 A Peterborough Ice Kats had a successful season with a gold medal at the Whitby Tournament of Heroes, a gold medal at the OWHL Southern Championship and are Provincial champions.
