All three divisions of the Estevan Sharks played Nov. 8 in Regina at the Lawson Centre.
The mini Sharks travelled to Regina for their first away tournament of the season. They played six games, which started with a 2-1 win over Regina. This was a great start to the day as the mini Sharks ended up with two wins, one tie and three losses. Considering this was only their second tournament, the coaches are very proud of how they played. They played their hearts out and it is so encouraging to see their improvement at every tournament.
The atom Sharks also travelled to Regina and had two teams entered in the tournament. The Blue Team started out with two hard losses to the Regina Armada and the Weyburn Hurricanes, but they pulled it back together for their remaining games. After taking a break and regrouping, the team went on to win their next games against Regina, Weyburn and Saskatoon by using strong passing and defensive plays. The Blue Team ended up in second place at the tournament.
The Red Team struggled throughout the tournament with three really close losses, but in the end they could not pull it together and only got one win out of the day.
The Sharks bantam girls team once again dominated the tournament and walked away as champions with four wins and one loss. This group of 10 and 11-year-old girls competed 13 and 14-year-olds, with all players scoring goals in this tournament.
The Sharks bantam boys also played and came away in second place overall. Dylan Pryznyk was the primary goalie and he played well the entire tournament. The big scorers were Cameron Gillingham and Logan Marshall capping goals in every game. Coming away with three wins and two losses, this team was very happy with their results.
The next league play for the atom, bantam and cadet teams will be in Saskatoon on Dec. 12 to 13 for Winter Provincials.
