Flames were Fire on Ice at 8th Annual Stoney Creek Midget AAA Female Hockey Showcase Tournament
St. Mary’s Academy Flames Prep team places 4th out of top 40 teams
The St. Mary’s Academy (SMA) Prep Hockey Team competed to a final fourth placing out of forty top teams from across Ontario, the northern States and three teams, including SMA, from Western Canada at the 8th annual Stoney Creek Midget AAA Female Hockey Showcase Tournament that took place September 7th to 9th.
Five straight victories over three days with a dominating 15-3 margin of points scored versus given up had the SMA ladies the talk of the tournament as they finished with the highest aggregate round robin score amongst all the teams and placed the ladies in the top side of the A division. A birth in the semifinals Sunday afternoon against a very pesky team from Whitby, Ontario ended the Flames’ dreams of a championship, as the visiting Wolves scored with less than a minute left in regulation to break a 2-2 tie and send the Flames home elated yet also knowing how close victory was. The loss was somewhat softened by the fact that Whitby lost in the championship game two hours later to the host Stoney Creek Junior Sabres, a team the Flames had beaten 2-1 the day before in round robin action.
Team play was the order of the day and hats are off to the entire team, especially team captain grade 11 Danielle Krzyszczyk, who tied for the overall tournament scoring lead despite often being double-teamed by opposing squads. Grade 10’s Tess Bracken and Meike Meilleur also finished in the top ten in overall tournament scoring and both goalies, grade 12 Annie Chipman and grade 10 Anna Kulas, had outstanding tournaments, each garnering a shutout along the way.
