Carlsbad Ladies Capture Gold!
This past weekend (Feb 12-14th), the Carlsbad Open-A Ringette team captured the Gold medal in the 38th Annual Silver Ring Tournament in Ajax, Ont. A total of 8 teams competed in the Open-A division for women 18+.
They finished their round robin games with a 4-0 record posting wins over Nepean, Boucherville, West Ferris and Mississauga. They went into the playoff round as the number 1 Pool B seed outscoring their opposition by a 29-8 margin.
In the semi-finals they played London who was the number 2 seed out of Pool A. They won a very close 2-1 game against their toughest opponent to date.
The Finals saw the only two undefeated teams face off against one another. Montreal who was the number one seed out of Pool A, had breezed by Boucherville in the other semi-finals by a score of 8-1. The game in which both teams came out flying saw each team each score a pair of goals in the first half to remain tied 2-2. Both teams were visibly fatigued however Carlsbad's defensive dominance and ability to score quick goals off turnovers allowed them to prevail and pull off a 4-3 win. At the final sound of the buzzer the team barely had any energy to celebrate their hard fought win.
Congratulations to the ladies of Carlsbad's ringette team!
