Congratulations to the U15AA Panthers for winning gold this past weekend at the Ottawa Lady Sens Showcase.
The team earned a thrilling 3–3 tie against the Canton Blades from New York in round-robin play, scoring twice in the final 23 seconds to secure a playoff spot. They continued their run with a quarterfinal win over a hard-working North York team, setting up a semifinal matchup against provincially ranked #4 Burlington. After a scoreless game which featured some strong goaltending, the Panthers scored just 11 seconds into overtime on a player-called set play to advance. In the final, they faced the #1 ranked Durham West Lightning. Trailing 1–0 after two periods, the Panthers scored three times in the third and fought through late penalties to claim the championship.
An outstanding weekend of resilience and hard work by all the players!
