Last weekend the Fury Bantam team competed in the Brockville Angels tournament, coming away as tournament champions! In five games the girls outscored their opponents 17-5, with Goalie Jade Robinson recording two shutouts with the help of her four fantastic defencemen: Tori Babcock, Katherine Newton, Hannah Barnett and Morgan Greenslade. Strong offensive performances from Chloe Watson and Kayley Gill, who both notched hat tricks, Dana Fallis with five goals, Claire Willis with two, Kaliegh Churchmuch and Hannah Barnett with one apiece, led the girls to a tournament-perfect 5-0 record.

Their coaches and fans greatly enjoyed watching the team play harder in every game with an impressive 5-2 win over a strong Cornwall team in the title game. The Cornwall coaches were very complimentary of the skill level and sportsmanship displayed by the Fury players, and their coaches could not have been more proud.

Other Fury news:

As the season heads for the playoffs, the Frontenac Fury Girls Hockey organization is having another great year. From the Atoms on up to the Midgets, the players are practicing hard, competing in games, and having a blast.

This year's Atom Girls have a 9-6-1 record, having played 11 league games, 2 exhibition games and competed in the Ice wolves Tournament and have stayed in 4th place. They have 7 regular season games left and 2 upcoming tournaments, so they are hoping to keep up this momentum and finish the season with a bang.

After 13 games the PeeWee Fury are in 5th place. The girls played very well in their first tournament, making it to the semi-final game, thanks to an excellent performance by our first year playing in net, Rhiannon Murphy, stopping all 3 shooters in a 2-1 shoot out victory. The team is looking forward to having a very good second half of the season.

The Bantam girls are having a great year, leading their division and having lost only one game so far. Goaltending is terrific with 57 goals scored by the players, and only 9 goals against so far this year, with a number of shutouts. A recent 5-0 tournament showing in Brockville brought the girls home with the tournament championship. The players are having a lot of fun and representing the organization very well.

The Midget girls are now at 6 wins, 13 losses and 7 ties. After a slow start the team has come together and are now playing very well, outscoring opponents and keeping a very low goals against average. The girls are having fun and playing hard.
