-

The Medicine Hat Mission under-16A ringette squad marched to a pair of victories this weekend in Calgary.

Jada Harper led the team to an 8-3 win over NWX to kick things off, then Cass Stock picked up the offence with five goals in the second half of a doublehead­er to lead Medicine Hat to a resounding 15-2 win.

“Our team is starting to realize that ringette games can be won or lost in the neutral zone,” Mission head coach Marty Robinson said in an email. “With a solid forechecki­ng and constant back pressure up the ice we can increase our chances of success.”

Sydney Carlson locked up both victories between the pipes to keep Medicine Hat in first place entering the Holiday break.
