Peewee Girls Griffins take Bronze in Centre Wellington Tournament

This past weekend was history in the making.  For the first time ever, a Gloucester Griffins Girl's team represented the association and the city in an OLA tournament.  The Peewee Girl's team travelled to Guelph to compete in the Centre Wellington Women and Girl's Tournament June 11th to 13th.  Over the weekend, the girls played 4 games in just 24 hours and their skills and experience improved steadily from game to game.  Although much less experienced than their competition, the heart and determination that they put forward was admirable.  In the few moments between games, the girls were able to relax together as a team in the swimming pool and in the mall.  The team gained some very valuable experience from the competition and will carry that experience forward as they prepare to represent the GLA again at the Provincials in early August.

Earl Armstrong was abuzz with excitement as the Bantam/Midget Girls Griffins defeated the Kahnawake Mohawks 2-1 on Wednesday night.  The score was back and forth starting with a Griffins goal but the Mohawks tied it up in the second period.  The game winning goal came mid way through the third period and the Griffins held on for the victory in impressive style.  Way to go girls, way to go GRIFFINS!
