Lucan U11B Girls Provincial Champions!!!
Our Lucan U11B Girls Team took part in the OWHA Provincial Championship Tournament this past weekend in Toronto.

The tournament started with round robin games versus Wilmot, Sudbury and North York. Our Girls were on a mission and came out flying, firing goals & defending fiercely, earning three convincing wins to advanced to the quarterfinals Saturday afternoon verses in Georgina. Our Girls kept up the amazing pace and skated away with the win, sending them on to the semifinal game versus the Kanata Rangers. Another early morning game but our Girls were ready as ever and earned a hard fought 4-1 win, booking their ticket to the Gold Medal game Sunday afternoon versus our highway 4 arch rivals, the South Huron Sabres. This Gold Medal game would be the final chapter in our season long battle as the two Teams traded wins all year long, and had locked horns only a couple weeks earlier in League Playoffs semifinal. The stands were packed with Family & Fans from both Towns and the atmosphere was electric! The game started off at a furious pace and did not let up for one minute! South Huron took an early lead and were gunning for more, but Lucan held their ground and got stronger as the game wore on, tying it up before the end of the second, sending the game to the final period tied at one.

Furious puck battles and forechecks, desperate exhausted backchecks, terrific individual efforts, mighty defence and fantastic goaltending were the story of the 3rd for both Teams. We've played hard fought, nerve racking games all year, but this one was at another level! The Irish and Sabres battled for every inch of ice, traded chances left & right, with the Players giving it everything they had left in their tanks, as the clock ticked down in what had to be the game of the season! Finally our Girls were rewarded with a goal midway through the 3rd, sending the Lucan crowd into a frenzy of celebration! South Huron tried furiously in the dying minutes to tie the game, attacking with everything they had, but our Lucan Girls stood tall defending as a Team until final buzzer! An amazingly exciting Gold Medal game and a terrific way to cap off our season for the ages!

Congratulations to South Huron on their terrific season as well, and their hard-earned Silver Medals. Out of 16 U11B Teams from across Ontario entered in Provincials, our small neighbouring towns were the last two Teams standing! An amazing accomplishment and a credit to both Minor Hockey Associations and their dedicated Players!
