U-18 Girls OWHA Champions
The Paul Van Gerwen U-18 Girls hockey team won gold at the OWHA finals this weekend!
The U-18 Girls went undefeated to capture gold at the Ontario Women's Hockey Association championships.
The weekend started with two games Friday. The Mitchell Meteors defeated Brockville Angels 2-0, with a successful start to their mission to win it all the team had to work a little harder in the second game. Facing Kincardine Kinucks the girls kept the fans on the edge of their seats, losing 2-0 into the third they managed to net 2 goals near the end to tie up the game.
Saturday the girls beat out West Oxford Inferno 3-1, then crushed Chatham Kent 1-0, scoring the last minute of play! This win qualified the team for a place in the top 4 in Ontario.
Meeting at the arena, rested and ready for more the girls smoked the Smith Falls Cubs 4-0 - onto the championships! Facing their rivals (who they beat out for WOGHL championship) Tillsonburg Lightening the Mitchell Meteors U-18 girls did not disappoint the fans.
An evenly matched game remained scoreless with 8 seconds left in the third, Mitchell scored! Then they netted a second one on the empty net, just to seal the deal.
Congratulations U-18 Girls! You worked hard and deserve all your success. Thank you to the coaching staff, or your guidance and the parents for your patience.
