The Battlefords AAA Sharks are working towards accomplishing their goals in the playoffs, and are beginning to be acknowledged for their hard work they have put in this season.
Shelby Tornato and Chloe Marshall have both been rocks in between the pipes this year. Although the numbers aren’t what they would like them to be, they have averaged over 30 stops a game and have done what it takes to keep their team in the game throughout the campaign.
The netminders are also ranked one and two in the Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League in saves made, sporting a .896 [Tornato] and .906 [Marshall] save percentage.
Offensively, Brittany Yeager and rookie Jordan Kulbida have had an above average season, respectively. Both players lead the team in points with 11, with Yeager registering five goals and six assists and Kulbida with four and seven.
Most recently, forward Keara Amson, who is the front-running goal scorer on the Sharks with eight, was rewarded for her efforts with the first star of December. The Radisson native posted four tallies in four games, counting for almost half of the team’s production in the month.
“Keara is only in grade 10, but continues to impress She has been voted in as an assistant captain this year and has really started to come alive in the last two months. This past weekend she continued her streak from the month of December, netting another two goals and an assist. We are really going to rely on her moving forward this year and can't wait to see the kind of player she becomes in the next two seasons,” Head Coach Ashley Rafuse says of the forward.
This is the first time in four seasons that a player from the Sharks have been honoured with the award.
