Âé¶čAVâs U16A Elite found home ice very to their liking in winning the 2018 .
The KRA reps defeated Vernon in Sundayâs gold medal final at Rutland Arena.
As the B.C. champs, Âé¶čAV U16A Elite will now carry the provinceâs colours at the Western Canadian Ringette Championships, March 21 to 24 in Saskatoon.
âAs a group, we set a goal of winning Westerns this year,â said Âé¶čAV coach Todd MacMillan.âOur first step was getting to Westerns and needed to win provincials to put ourselves back in contention after finishing fourth last year. Our focus last weekend was never quit and to take our opponentâs time and space away wherever possible. The players responded and played five very solid games during weekend round robin play. They never quit.
âWe know there will be some great teams in Saskatoon, but we need to believe we that we can and deserve to be in the gold medal final at Westerns.â
Two other Âé¶čAV teams made it to the podium at provincials. The U19A squad won silver, while the U14As took bronze.
TORL Cup action saw Âé¶čAV Open B, Âé¶čAV U16A, the Âé¶čAV U12A squads all win their respective TORL league titles.
