The Niagara Rapids Midget AA hockey club headed to Potsdam, NY,
this weekend to participate in the North County Shootout. The ladies defeated
Burlington 2-1, in a hard fought battle to open the tournament, followed by a
3-0 victory over Vaughan. Our Rapids knocked off heavily favoured Cornwall 3-2,
and host OHA 4-2 to advance undefeated to the final. The Rapids fell behind 2-0
early in the final, only to battle back with four unanswered goals to defeat
Detroit Honeybaked 4-2, bringing home the championship. Special teams play was
a huge contributing factor to the Rapids success as was the play of goaltenders
Sophie Thomas and Kaydra Corney. The coaching staff would like to acknowledge
and thank the players who played through injury and illness. Congratulations Rapids
MAA!

The
Rapids Midget AA competed in the Buffalo Inferno tournament this past weekend
capturing silver. The ladies went undefeated in the round robin defeating North
Halton, St. Louis, Vaughan and New York. The Rapids eliminated St Louis, in a
semi final rematch 3-0 advancing to the final against Waterloo. Tied 1-1 after
regulation the Rapids played a 3 vs 3 overtime, controlling the puck and play.
Unfortunately the Rapids were unable to put the puck behind the Waterloo
goaltender in overtime, leading to a four round shoot-out defeat.
Congratulations on a successful weekend!
