“Success was due mostly to having a great group of girls who were really willing to put in the hard work. While we did have some great individual performances , the whole weekend was a total team effort, everyone contributed,” says Coach Lee Booth. 

“The parents were so helpful and enthusiastic all season. Our cheering section which included fans from all over Alberta, Saskatchewan and even one from Manitoba were so loud and awesome all weekend, but especially during the gold medal game.”
