Walter Gretzky Finalists!
The Ice Hawks organization was very well represented this weekend with 4 teams competing at the Walter Gretzky tournament.  Congratulations to the Atom "C" team on winning their division.
The Sign Street Novice "C" Ice Hawks enjoyed a great team building weekend in Brantford at the 37th Annual Walter Gretzky Tournament.  



The girls went undefeated in the round robin portion beating up on Lambeth Lady Lancers 3-1, Kincardine Kinucks 2-0, and Peterborough Ice Kats 2-0.  This set the girls up nicely with a bye to the Championship game Sunday morning vs. Mooretown Lady Flags.

In the final Sign Street's Dani Wilkie opened the scoring in the 2nd period for the Ice Hawks to make it 1-0.  The Lady Flags would get the next 2.  Wilkie tied the game halfway through the third period on a nice back hand.  Ice Hawks Championship Game MVP's, the goaltending duo of Olivia Barber and Adalyn Jackson played very well in this game.  The Ice Hawks then played a 3 on 3 five minute OT that was very entertaining.  Sign Street had the majority of chances in OT but just couldn't finish on the Lady Flags tender.  This Final had to be decided by a 4 round shootout and the Lady Flags were victorious winning the final 3-2.
Other Ice Hawk Game MVP's from the weekend included Dani Wilkie, Abby McMillan, and Adassia Clock.
The Goaltending duo of Jackson and Barber had the best Goals against average in the tournament of the 9 Novice teams only allowing 3 goals in the four games.
Owen Sound's next games are this coming weekend in the OWHA Playdowns vs. Kincardine on Saturday and vs. TCDMHA on Sunday.  With a win in either game the Sign Street Ice Hawks can punch their ticket to the Provincial Championships.
