Sportop Midget AA Queens Start Provincials

ETOBICOKE, ON — Although four Queens teams are in Southern Ontario taking part in the OWHA Provincials, the Sportop Midget AA Queens were the only ones in action on Thursday as they took on the Waterloo Ravens.

Goaltender Josée Robinson got the start for the Queens and she’d get the bulk of her workload in the first as the Ravens outshot the Queens 10-3. Waterloo would score after a funny bounce at the crease and then add to their lead in a net-front scramble where the net came off its moorings. After some discussion among the officials, it was determined that the goal would stand. 2-0 for Waterloo after one.

Thunder Bay got to their game in the second as Brenna Nicol scored off a perfect deflected on a point shot from Jessie Scott just as a powerplay was expiring. The Queens tied the game 3:51 later when Captain Victoria Darosa's shot from the outside would get partially stopped by Waterloo's goalie but not enough as the puck squeezed through and trickled into the net. Scott and Molly Kunnas drew assists on the goal. Shots were 10-8 Queens in the period.

In the third, the Ravens looked like they took the lead, jamming home a puck on the powerplay but the net was again found knocked out of place. The hockey gods judged in the Queens favour this time though as the goal was disallowed and the 2-2 tie stood as the final score. Waterloo edged the Queens is shots 24-22.

The Sportop Midget AA Queens play the Peterborough Ice Kats Friday morning at 8:00am before meeting the Mississauga Chiefs that afternoon at 1:45pm.
