Mustangs take NOSSA gold!
The MSS Girls Curling team ended their season on a high note with a win in their final game at the NOSSA Championships in Sudbury earlier this month. They also had the highest draw-to-the-button score of all the competing girls’ teams. Congratulations to Coach Angela Johnston, Bella Jefkins, Katelyn Shank, Autumn Davy and Sadie Bridgeman for their perseverance through a challenging season!
Still with curling, on Saturday, Coach Angela will be wearing another coaching hat. She has organized Providence Bays’ junior curling wind-up Fun-spiel. Thanks for keeping curling, alive, Angela.
Off their Rock, hockey (and ringette)!
Panther Alumni and Little Current Flyer Jack Carter has been affiliated with the U15 ‘A’ Chapleau Huskies team. They were very dominant in their T.O.C.’s (Tournament of Champions) and Jack is coming home with gold around his neck!
This is also the first time Chapleau has qualified for provincial OHF championships. Coach Kirk Ellis said, “Jack was a great addition to their team.” Way to go, Jack!
Jenelle Manitowabi, who has lots of experience in hockey and was easily able to make the transition to playing ringette, is playing for the Nipissing University ringette team and recently played in Waterloo at the Ontario university provincials! No medals, but a great showing by Jenelle!
