PANTHERS WIN WESTERN CANADIANS!!
The Grande Prairie Panthers went undefeated for the second straight year at the Western Canadian Shield held in Dauphin, Manitoba. In game 1, the Panthers faces the Winnipeg Aces and dominated with a 5-2 win. Nicole Klassen scored twice and earned MVP honors along with Amber Prior.
Game two against Yukon (Whitehorse) was a much closer game with the Panthers winning 2-1. Game three against Saskatchewan (Regina Vipers) was very close in that the Panthers gave up a 3-1 lead and had to settle for a 3-3 tie. Game four versus British Columbia (Kamloops Vibe)ended in a 5-0 win for the Panthers.
The Panthers ended up playing Team Manitoba in the final for the gold medal and this game was nothing like the first one played in the round robin. The Panthers opened the scoring early in the first period on a goal by Haley Hommy and followed it up with a second goal a few minutes left in the period by Melody Howard. It was a close and hard fought match that saw the Panthers end it in the third with an empty net goal by Haley Hommy to make the score 3-0. Cathy Garrett earned the shutout and MVP honors. The game was plagued with many penalties most of which went to Manitoba in the dying minutes of the third period disabling any comeback attempt.
The Grande Prairie Panthers are honored to win the Western Canadian Shield for the second year in a row. They would like to thank the PCFHL players and fans who have supported them this year and also extend congratulations to the Northern Athletic Wear Aces for winning Provincial Silver and to the Peace River Sharks for winning Provincial Bronze. It is a great thing to see one third of our league teams pick up Provincial hardware!! Thanks again!.

SENIOR A PROVINCIAL PLAYOFFS (Alberta)
Grande Prairie Panthers Win Gold!
GRANDE PRAIRIE PANTHERS STRIKE GOLD AT WESTERN CANADIANS!!
GAME SCHEDULE: April 11 - Panthers (5) vs HOST (Fleetwoood Hawks)(0)
- Panthers (10)vs YUKON(0)
April 12 - Semifinal- Panthers (7) vs SASKATCHEWAN (Elite Mechanical Shooters) (0)
April 13 - GOLD MEDAL GAME - PANTHERS (5) VS MANITOBA CANADIANS (0)
The Panthers played four strong games at the Western Canadian Shield in Surrey, BC. Scoring 27 goals for and allowing no goals against, the Panthers led the drive for gold with a stellar defensive effort. Not only did goaltenders Cathy Garrett and Cortney Murphy close the door but the Panther defensive squad played exceptionally well. The forwards also took their assignments seriously and backchecked diligently.
The first game against the host team Fleetwood Hawks saw the Panthers get out to slow start but affiliate Jodie Funk played an awesome game to help the Panthers to a 5-0 win. The Hawks goaltender was kept busy and played a solid game.
In game two, the Panthers played an fairly new and young team from Yukon. The Panthers kept the Yukon forwards at bay and were able to score goals from every line winning 10-0.
The Semifinal game against Team Saskatchewan was a hard fought one. The Panther defence were solid this game, keeping the Saskatchewan snipers to the boards. The final score was 7-0.
In the Gold Medal Game, the Panthers went in believing they could win the gold. They knew Team Manitoba would be a very competitive team as they had won games on their side of the pool by equal margins that the Panthers had won by. The game was very intense but the Panthers managed to score the first goal. Manitoba had opportunity as one of their forwards had a breakaway but shot it over goaltender, Cathy Garrett and hit the crossbar. Luck was truly on the Panthers side as later on in the second period, Manitoba crashed the net after Garrett let out several rebounds, however she was able to corral the puck inches from the goal line and get a whistle. On the next shift, the Panthers went the length of the ice and scored a second goal. This took a lot of wind out of the Manitoba sails and the Panthers continued to chip away scoring three more goals in the ensuing time left.
This is the first time the Panthers have won the gold medal after attending this tournament for the fourth time. They have two bronze, one silver and now FINALLY one gold.
SENIOR B PROVINCIAL PLAYOFFS (Alberta)
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PEACE RIVER SHARKS WHO WON THE BRONZE MEDAL!!
Peace River defeated Hughendon 2-0 which should have been a higher score except for the excellent goaltending of the Hughendon goalie. In their second game, they settled for a 1-1 tie with the Thorhild Panteras. In their last round robin game, they defeated Duchess 3-2 in an exciting game that saw Peace River score the game winning goal with 16 seconds left in the game.
They ended up tied for first in their pool which ended up coming down to penalty minutes which placed Peace River second. They faced the defending Provincial Champions, Irma Grizzlies in the semifinal. It was a very rough game which saw many injuries including that to captain Wendy Laliberte who sustained a broken leg in that game. With morale fading, the Sharks were defeated 4-0.
In the bronze medal match up, Peace River decided to rally back for their injured comrades and pulled off a convincing victory over the Bow Valley Grizzlies by a score of 7-2
The Wembley Coyotes also attended Provincials but I do not have any game scores to report yet.
