This weekend the girls headed down to Alliston to play in the Clearview Pink at the Rink tournament and came home champions in their second straight tournament!!
First game on Friday morning saw them play the 6th ranked team in the province, the Kitchener Lady Rangers and lose 2 to 1. The ice Hawks got off to a shaky start and gave up two goals on the forst 2 shots of them game. The Rangers out shot them 3 to 2 in the period, but play was inconsistent and offence was quiet. The girls regrouped and came out skating in the second out shooting them 12 to 0 in the period
Natalie Mole would score to put the team within one in the 2nd off a faceoff draw by Julia Sutherland back to Mary Green and over to Mole for the quick release!

The third goal was from Jolie Mcknight on a breakaway pass from Chesney Miller and Karrissa Rasmussen collecting the other assist.
Alyssa Barnard would back stop for the win, and shut out with the shots unknown unfortunately but was very busy in the first 5 minutes of the first before OS would begin to take over.
3rd game on Saturday put them up against the host Clearview Ice Cats who would take 29 minutes in penalties in a very heated game of hockey! The Ice Hawks scored on a power play in the second as Kenzie Falls pounced on a juicy rebound with assists going to Renayla Campbell and Heather Koch.
Clearview would tie it up in the third and the score would stand at a 1 to 1 tie and so OS would be granted the A final due to better plus Minus and again would face Kitchener on Sunday afternoon.
The game was tight checking and Os held an edge with 5 shots to 2 after the first. Then Kenzie Falls would score on a wrap around in the 2nd period with assists going to Natalie Madill and Keirsten Henrich.
