Pats and Congrats to the Whalers Midget AA Girls for Gold Medal In Antigonish

Great tournament weekend for Nicole, Upper Echelon assistant instructor and longtime student, and her hardworking bunch of girls.  They grabbed the championship at the Bergengren Credit Union Female Hockey Challenge in Antigonish this past Super Bowl weekend.

The team came through the tournament with a 3-1-1 record and Nicole was clutch when it mattered the most.  Facing a do-or-die situation in the semi-finals versus the Valley, Nicole pitched a 38 save shut-out performance to allow her girls win the game with a single goal on 9 shots.  Not finished with putting her stamp on the weekend, Nicole went on to give up only 1 goal in the finals for a rock-solid 2-1 victory versus their cross-town rival, TASA/Chebucto.

Nicole, while soft spoken, likes to let her play do her speaking for her.  Being the only goalie on her Midget AA team and the starter for the Auburn Girls High School team, she has been carrying a huge workload all season long, but this late season tournament result shows that she is willing and capable of great things.  Way to go, Nicole!  And way to go, gals!
