The stands were packed, and the energy was high as the skates hit the ice our first game of this
championship day. Team Prince Edward Island won out against QC2-Québec 2-1 to take the
gold medal in the consolation final. Moving on to the championship round, the AB2-St Albert
Mission beat AB3 Calgary CORE 3-2 to take the U16 bronze medal. The U16 gold medal match
was an absolute thriller, with some excellent end-to-end play, by the time the final whistle
blew, team New Brunswick had clearly asserted their dominance, and took the gold medal over
Team AB1 – Team Alberta by a score of 6-2.
The U19s were on ice next, starting with the consolation final. Team New Brunswick defeated
ON2 Waterloo Wildfire by a score of 3-2 to take the consolation gold. Over to the championship
round where the bronze medal match saw two Alberta teams going head-to-head. AB3 Alberta
FUSION won out, defeating AB1-Team Alberta by a score of 3-2 to take the bronze medal. The
gold medal game was another electrifying match up featuring AB2 Sone 2 Blaze and AB4 - St.
Albert Mission. When the curtain fell, the Mission took gold 8-1 and the Blaze had to settle for
the silver medal.
The National Ringette League was last up on the docket. In the consolation round, the gold was
given to the Nepean Ravens, who downed the Edmonton Black Gold Rush by a score of 5-4. The
bronze medal went home with the Calgary RATH as they downed the Waterloo Wildfire 4-1.
The gold medal match was another high-level game. The Edmonton WAM! were looking to
continue their fine form in this tournament against the Montreal Mission. The game was
exhilarating and the Edmonton WAM! took home the gold and won out over the Mission by a
score of 7-4.
