Timmins Petite Red Ringers Earn Silver

The Timmins Ringette Association was well represented at the Sault Ste Marie Ice Hawk Invitational Ringette tournament the weekend of November 7th to 9th. In the Petite division, two Timmins teams faired extremely well. Timmins White Knights reached the semi-finals only to lose in overtime to the Timmins Red Ringers 5-4. Kelsie Iserhoff was the hero for the Red Ringers scoring with 37 seconds left in regulation and notching the OT winner 23 seconds into the extra frame.

The Red Ringers then played the undefeated Valley East Cobras who advanced to the finals by beating the West Ferris Ice Caps 7-3. Sydney Lia got the Red Ringers off to a great start with a goal in the opening minute and a see saw tilt ensued. One of the Ringers Novice call ups, power forward Gabrielle Dagenais scored at the 10:01 mark of the first period to give them a two goal lead. The Red Ringers received solid goaltending from their second Novice call up, rookie Sarah Zuidema, who thwarted the Cobras on numerous occasions to keep the Red Ringers in the lead. With victory in their sites, the Red Ringers carried a 7-5 lead into the last 5 minutes of the game but the Cobras slithered their way back into the contest tying the game in the last minute and forcing overtime. In the OT, The Red Ringers came close to capturing gold but Jordan Thiboutot and Sydney Lia were stopped by the cat like left pad of the Cobras goaltender. The Cobras wore down the Red Ringers hitting the crossbar once, then Valerie Desjardins finally ended it at 7:01 in the extra period with a low shot that eluded a screened Zuidema leaving the Ringers having to settle for Silver.

Coach Lynne Schwertfegger had great praise for all players. “Our big three on defense , Nadia Dagenais, Maia Kvas and Veronic Delage set the tone for the whole tournament that they were going to be a force to reckon with as they were instrumental in shutting down the highly vaunted White Caps offense 8-2 in our first game. The Kid line consisting of Alexa Beland , Gabrielle Dagenais and Sydney Lia accounted for 22 goals over the weekend while the second offensive unit consisting of Hanna Zuidema , Kelsie Iserhoff and Jordan Thiboutot scored 16 goals. We have a great house league program and we’re looking forward to more tournaments as the girls are really motivated to succeed and play well.”
