PWB 2018-2019 - What a season!
Provincials Championship Weekend was the perfect way to cap off a terrific season for the PWB team.  These girls went undefeated in the regular season with a 21-0-1 record, brought home 2 gold and 3 silver tournament medals, finished first for the PWB LLFHL division overall!  Off the ice there was lots of team building and giving back to our community!

At Provincials weekend, there were two games on Friday and three games on Saturday that showed the true heart and soul of this team who never backed down!  For our quarter final game, we faced the undefeated Timmins Peewee Tahoe Falcons.  Our girls got a quick jump on Timmins, scoring two goals in the first 4 minutes of the game, causing Timmins to call a timeout. 

This was undoubtedly the best game the PWB team had all season and they all played so hard, leaving it all on the ice.  After 3 periods we were tied 3-3.  Then overtime…..then double overtime…..then TRIPLE overtime where Timmins was able to clinch the win.  

The tears that were shed after the game were not because of the loss, but because the girls knew their time together had come to an end.  The hugs as they left the changeroom or saw each other in the lobby brought tears to everyone’s eyes and it reminded us that this is what hockey is TRULY about – the friendships, the team commitment, the memories.  We found out after the game that this was the first time all season that Timmins was in a losing position during a game, and no team had scored 3 goals on them before.   

To recognize their accomplishments this season, the PWB team just found out that they have been invited to attend the City of Cambridge Athletic Achievement Awards Ceremony on May 16th where they will be presented with a plaque and certificates.  The team is truly honoured to have been selected!

Congratulations again to this terrific group of young athletes and the coaching staff for an awesome season, and of course a huge thanks to our hockey parents, grandparents and volunteers and sponsors for all of their support!
