The Elora Fergus Edge U-14 ‘AA’ squad missed the gold-medal game by one goal during an exciting trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia for the Eastern Canadian Ringette Championships.
A tough 2-1 overtime loss to Ottawa in the bronze medal game demonstrated the team was able to play with the top squads in eastern Canada, team officials note.
The Edge won three of its four round robin games, beating PEI 8-1, Nova Scotia 7-2 and Quebec 3-1, losing only a 5-1 decision to New Brunswick before being edged by St. Marie de Beauce, 2-1 in the semi-final.
“Our girls played their hearts out in Halifax,” said team official Janice McIntosh. She added the squad “worked incredibly hard all season, battled hard, and never gave up.”
The Edge placed third in Ontario to earn the right to represent the Elora Fergus Ringette Association at the Eastern Canadian Ringette Championships, which were held April 10 to 15.
“The U-14 ‘AA’ Elora Fergus Ringette team would like to make a special thank you to our community for supporting our team through our bottle drives, breakfast, book and bake sale, garage sale and Hypnosis Jeff West Show,” McIntosh stated.
