CONGRATULATIONS to all the Kitchener
Lady Rangers Midget A players and staff for qualifying for the 2016 - 2017 OWHA
Provincial Championships. Although losing the first game of the double round robin, a determined effort in game two had the ladies posting their first win of the round robin against a tough Roadrunners team. With back to back wins against the Ice Cats and Ravens, game “57” afforded all the excitement that the parents and staff could handle. Remembering that all games have “42” minutes, the ladies utilized almost every available second to come back, grabbing a “do or die” point against the Ravens. Game “58” provided the final “W” needed to advance to the 2017 OWHA Provincial Championships.
Although some may “expect” to qualify yearly, it is something that should never be taken for granted. Your continued determined effort was the difference. That “continued effort” will take you a long way in life. A sincere thanks to the Brantford Ice Cats, Cambridge Roadrunners and the Waterloo Ravens for well-played qualifying games.
To our ladies, there are no guarantees going forth to Provincials. Anything can happen once you are there, which is the true importance of having met your goal in qualifying. If you continue your hard work and commit to playing Lady Rangers Hockey, you will compete against anyone. We hope you all believe in yourselves as much as we believe in each and every one of you. Together, you are truly a great “team”.
On behalf of Bill, Dave, Sarah and Tim, congratulations on being the "M" Region representatives for the 2016 - 2017 OWHA Provincial Championships. Whatever Provincial weekend may hold, please know that it has been a real pleasure for all of us to have been part of your 2016 – 2017 season.
