NSW Womens Team Win Silver at JMK
The NSW Womens Team were defeated by South Australia in the Grand Final of the Joan McKowen Memorial 2006 National Womens Ice Hockey Tournament recently, going down 5-0. South Australia had to work hard for all five of their goals, with the game being a fairly even contest (even though the score says otherwise).
The leadup games to the Grand Final were pretty successful, with victories against Victoria, Queensland, ACT, and Western Australia, and after the round robin games, were sitting in second place on the table, behind South Australia. A confident win against Victoria in the Semi-Finals saw NSW being favourites to win the Grand Final.
The player walking away with the spoils of the Tournament was little Sami Lai, taking home both the NSW MVP trophy, and the Nellie Gee Memorial Trophy. Congratulations Sami!
