Rebel Ravens are B Pool Champs!
Ravens employ consistent checking and win the B pool in a shootout!

Although the Ravens team was missing Julia and Hannah for the final, they were able to  shut down the formidable offensive attack of the Kitchener Golden Hawks, who had scored five goals in their last outing. Once again Stephanie led the way with her rock-solid goaltending, stopping five of six in the shootout. Early in the game, it was Grace finding the back of the net during a goalmouth scramble to stake the team to a lead. The Ravens continued to press, with Mackenzie, Jillian, Maddy and Taylor creating havoc in front of the Kitchener goalie, and Sofie creating a chance on a nice individual rush - but Kitchener held firm. In the second period, they pushed back, and eventually scored the tying goal. The third period saw the teams trade chances, but neither side was able to break through. The coaches were confident that they had the upper hand in the shootout, but it remained tied after three shooters...four shooters...five shooters. Finally, Victoria went in and scored on a nice wrist shot to the top corner - and the Ravens were champs!
Congratulations to all the girls on a hard fought season and well deserved championship - after a slow start, this team has showed its true quality over the last couple months of the season. Now on to another tough test in the Waterloo Cup series against Bantam Team #2 beginning Wednesday at 6pm at the WMRC.
