Challenge Cup Weekend  

The Pacific Steelers rose to the occasion in competition February 17-20 at the JWHL Challenge Cup Tournament in Washington, DC.  The team played its best hockey of the season and finished tied for first in its division after round robin play, just missing out on a trip to the semifinals in a tiebreak calculation.  Final record was 2 wins, 2 ties and 2 losses, leaving the Steelers tied for 6th place in a field of 20 of the top U19 programs in North America!

Several parents accompanied the team on the trip to Washington, and between the excellent hockey competition and abundant tourist activities around the city, a good time was enjoyed by all.  A few of the weekend’s photos are featured below.  See the PHOTO GALLERY for many more.  (Thanks Kamal!)

Steelers forwards Siobhan Hewitt-Kenda and Nicole Saxvik, and goaltender Justina Mayr have been selected to play in the 2011-2012 JWHL All Star Game. Congratulations, ladies!  The All Star game will kick off the Challenge Cup tournament February 16 in Washington DC.
Congratulations to Pacific Steelers alumnus Katie Zinn (2011) who has received a scholarship to Penn State University in Pennsylvania (NCAA Div I). Great work Katie, and best of luck in your college career!
Congratulations to Pacific Steelers forward #19 Nicole Saxvik!  Following a vote by JWHL coaches, Nicole was named JWHL Player of the Week for her outstanding play at the November 11-13 West Division Weekend in Winnipeg.  Nicole scored 3 goals and 1 assist for the weekend, including a hat trick in the Steelers’ 3-3 tie against Warner Hockey School.
Thank you to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make our JWHL home weekend a success!  We had very positive comments from many of our visitors on how smoothly the event operated this year.  Local fans were also impressed with the high level of play they witnessed.
