Fraser River Delta rings up Gold

Fraser River Delta squared up against their neighbours and rivals Fraser Valley in the final game of the BC Winter Games ringette tournament. A fiercely contested gold medal game where the lead bounced back and forth.

Fraser River Delta managed to edge out Frazer Valley and secure the gold medal 4-3. Fraser Valley were worthy silver medal winners. Both teams played exceptionally well in this fast exciting game which had the spectators on the edge of their seats.

No one could ask for more support than the parents who dressed up in orange garbage bags to support of the Fraser River Delta girls who were playing wearing their orange, zone 4 colours!

With Fraser River Delta trailing 2-3 they scored a goal to tie the game with justover four minutes left of the game. Both teams were fighting for the medal when, with only one minute and 34 seconds on the clock, Melissa Woodley from Fraser River Delta, fired the winning shot into the net.

Head coach, Harold Bakke from Delta was ecstatic over the win. He said "It was so sweet to win the gold. This was a once in a life time experience for the girls and they fought hard to win. Fraser Valley played a fantastic game and itis a tough loss for them but that makes it even sweeter for us!!"

The end of an exciting tournament where the girls played well and conducted themselves impeccably. Thank you to the officials and volunteers who made the tournament possible.
