Schedule & Results, Novice Girls, Girls Hockey, 2012-2013 (Mitchell Minor Hockey)

The Snyders Graphics Novice Girls are the 2012/2013 WOGHL NOVICE HL PLAYOFF CHAMPIONS!!!  It didn't come easy as Mitchell had to win or tie the last game against Zorra.  The game was very exciting with end to end action and was scoreless after 2 periods of play.  In the 3rd, Zorra took a quick 2-0 lead.  Mitchell fought back with a goal from Emma French, assisted by Charlee Feltz.  It wasn't enough as Zorra scored an empty net to finish the game 3-1.  This meant the series was tied with 1 win each and a tie.  To break the tie, a 5 minute sudden death 4 on 4 game was played.  It was another exciting finish with end to end action with great goaltending at both ends.  With 2:05 remaining, Taya Cornish fed a pass to Emma French who was able to beat the Zorra goaltender and win the series for Mitchell.  What a great end to a great season!!  This was such a great accomplishment for a team that started off the season with only a few girls who had ever played hockey before.  It was a very rough start with 10 losses to begin the season, but the girls always found a way to have fun after each and every game.  They never gave up and kept improving every game.  Their hard work paid off as they made it through the first round of playoffs and defeated Zorra to win the championship.  What a great year!!  Team members are Taya Cornish, Erica Pletsch, Emily Dearing, Jaelyn Meinen, Sadie MacArthur, Arianna Catalan, Brooklyn Gethke, Jordyn Crawford, Emma French, Alia Poirier, Alyssa Eidt, Nicole Haefling, Charlee Feltz, Jaimie Badley and Ava Gibbings.  Congratulations Team!!!!
