Both the CFB Halifax Mariners Women\u2019s Hockey Team and the Shearwater Flyers Old Timers\u2019 team recently had strong showings at CAF National Championships, with each placing first in the round robin portions of the tournaments. Unfortunately, both teams also lost in the semifinal rounds, preventing them from bringing home any national medals.<\/p>\n
At the CAF Women\u2019s National Championship, hosted in Edmonton from March 02-08, Halifax scored wins over Esquimalt (6-2), Trenton (3-1) and CFSU Ottawa (1-0) in the round robin, but fell by a score of 0-1 in a second hard-fought game against Trenton in the semifinal. Game MVP awards for Halifax through the tournament went to Pte Hardie, Cpl Goble, and Lt(N) Carrat. The gold medal was eventually brought home by CFSU Ottawa, besting Trenton 4-0 in the final game.<\/p>\n
On the Old Timers\u2019 side, held during the same time period in Edmonton, Shearwater\u2019s first place ranking in the round robin came from wins over Esquimalt (5-0), and Trenton (8-4), along with a 4-4 tie against Valcartier. Going up against Trenton again in the semi final, the Flyers lost 3-4 in another tight game. Game MVP awards for the flyers went to MWO Sutton, PO2 Noseworthy, and Maj Laaouan. The gold medal went to Valcartier in a 5-2 win over Trenton in the finals.<\/p>\n
MWO Sutton, the captain of the Shearwater Old Timers\u2019 squad, described this year\u2019s Shearwater team as one of the best Old Timers\u2019 groups to represent the Atlantic Region in recent memory. He said they lost to a disciplined Trenton team, who scored a powerplay goal late in the third period to clinch the victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it\u2019s a one game elimination anything can happen. We got off to slow start and couldn\u2019t recover. It\u2019s been an awesome year to date even though we fell short in this year\u2019s Nationals.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
