2024 Grand River U11C Tournament Champs!!!
What a weekend!!
The U11C team participated in the 2024 Grand River Mustangs Remembrance Day Classic tournament this past weekend and had a blast!
They started off facing an undefeated Woodstock Wildcats team on friday morning and played their hearts out to a 4-2 loss. It was a hard fought battle and they knew leaving that game they had a long road ahead. Friday afternoon they snuck out a win against Bluewater 3-2. Off to saturday morning facing Lambeth where lots of the girls got on the score board ending in a 5-3 win. The girls finished 3rd in round robin and would face Lambeth again saturday night which ended in another win with a 5-1 final.Sunday morning they faced a familiar foe in Saugeen Shores and played a nail biter to win 2-1 to send them to the finals sunday afternoon. The girls had played an amazing weekend with only their small team of 11 and were now playing in the championship game against the Ilderton Jets that had just punched their ticket to the finals earlier sunday in an overtime win against woodstock. The Mustangs stood strong, and despite being a small team, they had held the team to a 1-1 tie with only 21 seconds left in the 3rd where they buried that puck and held on to become the 2024 U11C champs with a final score of 2-1. Congrats to the team on a well played weekend!!
