Girls took over the rinks
The second Girls Hockey Day in Hamilton was held on December 16. Put on by the Stoney Creek Girls Hockey Association, teams in the Midget AA and peewee divisions faced off
at 6.00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Teams from Hamilton and Cambridge, among other nearby cities, were also part of the tournament.
The games were held at the Gateway Ice Centre and admission was free.
The tournament brings the community together, supports healthy living and provides an opportunity to witness young, aspiring athletes improve their games. In fact, many of the older players have already been scouted by American universities and will be receiving scholarships.
Spectators held up signs and posters to cheer on their team and favourite players, while coaches worked behind the benches hoping to lead their teams to victory.
This event was created after the Stoney Creek Midgett AA Sabres had the privilege of hosting the 2014 annual Esso Cup, and marked the first time the Esso Cup was held in Ontario. After experiencing the excitement of this event, the Stoney Creek Girls Hockey Association hosted the inaugural Girls Hockey Day in Hamilton, hoping to draw the same enthusiasm and support.
The association believes that the caliber of female hockey players has grown so much that many will be surprised to see this level of skill in girls’ hockey.
According to the association, their goal is to grow the event and add squads to the line-up. Poster printing can really help to keep upcoming events in people’s minds and promote growth.
