The Frontenac Fury Midget C girl’s have done it again! Not only did the team win their second tournament this year (Brockville February Freeze, February 21, 2010), but through hard work and dedication by all team members, the girls have qualified for the OWHA Provincials, which will be held in Mississauga, April 9 – 11.
“Our rink has not had a women’s team qualify for provincials in over 20 years”, says Buff Chadwick, team trainer and president of the Frontenac Girl’s Hockey Association. “This is big news for our arena, and for girl’s hockey!”
To earn their spot at Provincials the team played a single round-robin against the South Dundas Lions, Kemptville Storm, Castor River Coyotes and finally the Brockville Angels.
“This is our year to take home the cup”, says Erica Sortberg, team captain. “Most of the team has played together since they were kids. Four of the team members will not be returning next year, as they will have surpassed the age limit to play in the league.
“What a thrill it would be to hang an OWHA Provincial Banner at the Frontenac Arena”, says Kevin Hitchcock, head coach. “I won’t make any pre-tournament predictions, but we are not going to the provincials to lose!”
