Coquitlam-Port Moody Bears maul Prince George in BC finals

Coq.-PoMo takes title after 4-3 win in Surrey

The Coquitlam-Port Moody Bears wrapped up their undefeated regular season with a provincial title last week.

The 18 and over B Division ringette team took down Prince George in the championship finals, besting the northern opponents 4-1 to take home the banner.

The game was a rematch from an earlier contest against Prince George, which the Bears managed win 4-3 thanks in large part to stellar goaltending from Samantha Kell.

Coquitlam-Port Moody, which went 12-0-1 in the regular season, had little trouble in the early round-robin matches during the provincials.

The club opened up the tourney with a 8-3 win over Vancouver, before defeated the Fraser Valley 6-1 in Game 2. 

However, in the third game of the round-robin portion, the team found themselves down by three goals with ten minutes left in regulation.

That is when Kate Freeman closed the gap with two quick goals and Holly Chin popped in the tying marker with one minute left to keep the team undefeated in the tournament.

 

PIRATES

One championship banner was not enough for the Port Coquitlam Pirates Atom A1 team.
