Robyn Fossay and Lauren Morse who will be playing with the Belle age Team Manitoba Canada Winter Games team in 2010 and to Lindsay Burns, who was successful in making Team Canada’s Ringette Squad and will be travelling to Finland this Fall. Congratulations to Roger and best of luck ladies in your upcoming seasons.

Macdonald Tween A 2010 Provincial Champs

Ideally being in a rink is not everyone’s preference at Spring Break, but the Macdonald Tween A team spent many hours in the Dakota Arena at the start of theirs.  After 6 games total,  5 of them a winning sweep, the girls beat Lorette twice Sunday, March 28th to win the title of 2010 Tween A Provincials Champions. For many of these girls, its a three year title they’ve been fortunate to enjoy and certainly proves there’s a “lucky #3″ out there!  Congrats to the girls and their coaches, Lana, Shelby & Leah….

Petite C Provincial Gold Winners

The Macdonald Petite C team couldn’t have asked for a better finish to their year, nor a better introduction to the game for 3 new players.  They won Gold in Stonewall at Provincials last weekend.  Congratulations Roger, Lisa and girls!

Petite C - WRL Gold Medal Winners

The majority of the Macdonald teams ended off the WRL season in style last weekend by bringing home medals – Petite C won Gold, Tween C, Tween A, Junior B and Open 3 – Macdonald #2 all won Silver.  That’s half our team totals and a pretty large feat for a small rural Association!

Congratulations to Macdonald Belle players Jessica Sanders, Kirsten Chale, Holly Allard, Roxanne Ross and Erin Pouteau who played with the St. Norbert Belle A team this season and after a slow start, finished the year as the Host Team for the Westerns, which are happening in Winnipeg the first weekend of Spring Break.  

Also from Macdonald, Junior player, Joanne Fossay was invited to join the River East Junior A team who are the Manitoba Junior A Hosts this year.

Lauren Morse, Robyn Fossay, Melody Caron and Holly Jones are part of “Team Toba” the Magic Belle AA who after winning the Manitoba Provincial Belle AA Championship title, will represent Manitoba at the Nationals April 5 – 10 in Saskatoon,  Saskatchewan, competing with teams from across Canada.

Great accomplishments ladies and good luck in the upcoming competitions.  You are an inspiration to the younger Macdonald players who see how hard work, commitment, ambition and perseverence can bring great rewards!
