Easter in Brampton
Easter weekend found the Lady Rangers at the 49th Annual Brampton Canadettes Hockey Tournament. 

Easter weekend found the Lady Rangers at the 49th Annual Brampton Canadettes Hockey Tournament. After three well played round robin games the ladies found themselves in the lone wildcard spot. The quarter final game had the ladies facing a tough opponent with Rideau St. Lawrence. Although out shooting and out chancing RSL for most of the game, the ladies found themselves headed to an “all familiar” tournament overtime! After a scoreless five minute “four on four” the ladies were off to a “shootout”. After exchanging goals on the third shooter, the “fifth” shot of Ms. McIntyre coupled with a Ms. Beacom “save” had the ladies advancing to the semi-finals.  Another strong team performance against the Burlington Barracudas led to a very entertaining, physical, hard working game of hockey that was both a pleasure to watch and coach. The ladies made many good “Choices and Options” and for the second game in a row headed into “overtime”.

Although a “fourth” trip to a tournament final was not in the cards, we want you to remember that this weekend was not about winning the tournament but rather working through the final stages of our preparation for Provincial weekend, when the games truly count. You started slow but improved game by game to play at a level that will have you compete for a Provincial gold. Ten more days of hard work ladies. Success doesn't come to you, you go to it. And you are well on the way!

Many thanks to St. Catharines (1-2), Guelph (1-0), Clarington (2-2), Rideau (2-1 OT shootout) and Burlington (1-2 OT) for five great games of hockey.

Congratulations to Ms. Bassanese, Ms. Beacom, Ms. Piitz, Ms. Schroder and Ms. Young on your game MVP’s.
