The Hockey Season Is Coming To An End For Ridgebacks Women's Hockey

After a hard fought season, the Ridgebacks women's hockey team will commence our season next weekend with two important games against the York University Lions and the University of Toronto Varsity Blues. Although we are out of playoffs mathematically, we are still playing for many important reasons. Firstly the battles between us and these two teams have been very consistent. We want to pick up points in these games that we feel are well deserved due to our excellent game play against these two teams. My team, a fourth year hockey program, has come a long way this year; we have achieved many milestones. We passed our total for most games won and were strong contenders in almost every game this season. Any team on any given night could come out with a win. It is hard to look back at the league leading five overtime losses and not be bitter. Those five extra points would have us in a very close race for the last playoff spot. Not to mention the many games we were leading in the third and could not hold on to. We are a young program and that is bound to happen, but all steps seem to be moving in the right direction. I am very proud of my team and cannot wait for next season to continue to achieve milestones for our school and our program. Our program has so many people investing in us and supporting us and I think we will continue to produce positive results as we grow as a team.
