What a great experience it was for our Midget AA's to play against the National Team of China. It was a long game, felt like we were in the NHL!! We won the shoot out portion of the event 5-4. Karen (goalie) had 60+ shots against her, including both the game and shoot out!! What a goalie :) 

A special thanks goes out to Taylor Stewart, Ashley Armstrong, Riley Day and Shannon Bellamy of the Midget AA Ice Kats. Their passion for hockey continues to grow as they teach House League players to play the game.  The Midget AA players are an inspiration to our future Ice Kat stars. Way to go ladies!!!
