Walter Gretzky Tournament Champs 🥇!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The U11A Soo Jr Greyhound Girls showed up to PLAY at the 43rd Annual Walter Gretzky Tournament in Brantford this past weekend. The girls went undefeated, with an impressive 6-0 record, taking home the GOLD!!! Statementent from head coach Sarah Finn: “U11 Hounds offensive and defensive units understood the assignment this weekend putting up a whopping 25 GF and allowing only 4 GA, which included 3 shutouts for their Goaltender #35 Ella Hurley 🙌🏼 Most remarkable, was the determination and growth these girls demonstrated as they took down former opponents, including the London Devilettes (who took the gold from us at Pink the Rink in October) and the Lambeth Lancers (ranked 2nd in Ontario) - two teams who have challenged us since the start of the season. Game MVP #5 Piper Finn stuck to the game plan, setting the tone, building confidence and momentum for the Hounds, with our first goal of the game. She played strong two-way hockey all game through. The Hounds hung on for almost the entire final game with a 1-0 lead, until a late power play goal for Lambeth tied it up. In the final minutes of the game, the Hounds stayed composed and found ourselves in a favourable powerplay situatuin. After a quick time-out huddle, the PP unit knew exactly what they had to do. A huge shout-out to #8 Fynleigh Linklater who got the job done, with her game winning goal, and an impactful tournament run all weekend long! 👏🏼” Congratulations to the Hounds on their well-earned U11A Gold Medal Championship WIN! 🎉
