The Sceptres would like to send special congratulations to the six athletes and six staff members representing Canada on bringing home a silver medal!
Canada
Canada gave it their all in the final game, winning a silver medal after a hard-fought game against the United States with a 2-1 decision in overtime. After a scoreless first period, Canada began the second frame on the penalty kill. Renata Fast got the puck up to Laura Stacey who flew down the ice with Kristin O’Neill, who made a quick move and got the team on the board. The United States tied the game late in the third period before winning 4:07 into extra time. Daryl Watts ended the tournament as Canada’s scoring leader, and tied for third in the tournament overall.
