The U19A Gators took part in the Candy Cup Tournament in Calgary hosted by the Calgary Northwest Titans this weekend and brought home third place.
The Gators tied the Airdrie Chaos 6-6 in their first game of the tournament. Kylie Kallenberger led the offence with two goals and Marin Sinclair, Allison Mason, Jaelyn Siewert and Dimitira Karamanos rounded out the scoring with one goal a piece.
Karamanos, Sinclair and Mason scored for the Gators in their second game, an 8-3 loss to the host Titans.
The Gators had their second tie of the tournament as they came to a 5-5 draw against the Calgary Sharls. Siewert led the Gators with two goals and Delaney Mastel, Kallenberger and Mason scored one each for the tie.
After an 0-1-2 round robin record, the Gators played their final game of the tourney – a rematch with the Chaos for third.
The Gators secured third with a 7-4 win on the back of a Sinclair hat trick.
Siewert added two goals of her own and Amanda Robinson and Karamanos each had a goal to round out their scoring.
The Gators were without their regular goalie for the weekend and called up 14-year-old Kyree Stern-Rebmann to play at the U19 level tournament.
The Gators next action is Jan. 29 when they head to Calgary for two league games.
