Bantam As Make Stars Cup Finals in Winnipeg

WINNIPEG, MB — The Bantam A Queens are in Winnipeg this weekend competing in the Stars Cup. They got started Friday night with a contest against the Rat River Saints. In the first,Victoria Arnone’s shot from the point would find a home in the back of the net, putting Thunder Bay up by a goal. Jenna Mazan drew the lone assist. In the second period, Grace Fitzpatrick would take a feed from Shailyn Reguly and score and then Fitzpatrick would knock in her second goal of the period, giving the Queens a commanding 3-0 lead after two. The score held until the last minute when Kaitlin Whatley would manage a 4th goal for her side. Goalie Presley Brohm was stellar in her shutout bid. 4-0 final.

Saturday morning, the host Winnipeg Stars awaited the Queens and proved to be pretty tough competition as both teams entered the 3rd period scoreless. Fitzpatrick would break the double-shutout, scoring after a play from Jenna Jackson. Winnipeg responded with a goal of their own but Siobhean McLaren would get the puck to Shailyn Reguly who’d score with 2:31 left. Netminder Mia Attema held the 1-goal margin as the Queens won their second of two games in the tournament. 2-1.

That afternoon, the Queens met the Dryden Warriors. Fitzpatrick continued her scoring streak, getting the Queens on the board in the first and would notch another goal in the second! Both goals assisted by Reguly and Jackson. Less than two minutes after Fitzpatrick’s second goal, Paige Fucile found Mikayla Valante with the puck which she’d bury in the net to give the Queens a 3-0 lead. Presley Brohm continued her shutout streak.

Thanks to their 3-0-0 run, the Bantam As advance to the Championship game on Sunday afternoon.
