Dinos FHC
FHC’s cornerstone event, the Senior National Championships, wrapped up yesterday at Hawkings Field in Calgary. After some blistering days of heat and fighting a losing battle against mosquitoes, the medal ceremony on Monday was punctuated by ominous lightning strikes and the participants took cover just in time as the skies broke with warm showers. The timing was perfect as the games went without a hitch and the 5 days featured some terrific hockey played by DFHC players.
Three teams representing Alberta were entered and this year and DFHC was well-represented on both South teams. Alberta South 2 finished in 7th with an 0-6 record, Alberta North finished in 5th place at 2-4, and Alberta South 1 narrowly missed out on the Bronze Medal after a strong 4-2 round-robin record but eventually fell to Ontario on a single goal.
Special congratulations go out to Ashley Stewart (Alum) for scoring 6 goals, good for a tie at the top of the leader board, and being named to the Tournament XI. Also, Courtney Campbell’s performance impressed members of the Canadian National Team coaching staff so much she’s been invited to participate in a Junior Development Camp for which she’s flown out to Vancouver today!
Liz Allan (Alum) not only co-captained the Alberta South 1 squad, she acted as Co-Chair for the tournament which made her one incredibly busy person. Emma Guppy was Tournament Chair Assistant and captained the Alberta South 2 team, so she also lived at the pitch for 5 solid days.
Congratulations to all the players who represented Dinos so proudly, and thanks to everyone who volunteered at the technical table and assisted with the Advantage Field Hockey sales stall.
