Atlantic Attack posted two wins in the National Ringette League (NRL) division today at the Credit Union 2019 Credit Union Canadian Ringette Championships in Charlottetown/Summerside. In likely the most exciting game of the day, the Attack beat the Cambridge Turbos 5-4 in double overtime. Moncton’s Jenny Snowdon scored two goals and a pair of assists, including the overtime winner.

“This was a huge win for us. We knew it would be a tough one, but we played our game and played our systems,” said Snowdon right after the game. “We have two more games to play and we’ll take it one game at a time and see what happens from there. We are not looking too far ahead.”

In other NRL play, Edmonton WAM! beat Ottawa Ice 4-2 and Montreal Mission 5-4, while Calgary RATH downed Manitoba Intact 10-2 and Waterloo Wildfire 8-2. Montreal Mission broke Cambridge’s winning streak earlier in the day with a 4-3 win over the Turbos.

In the U16 division, Team Alberta (Calgary Impulse) is the only team left undefeated after downing Team Manitoba (Magic) 1-0 today. Airdrie’s Kennedy Rice continues to be a scoring phenom in the U16 division, with 23 points in six games. Her Zone 2 (AB) team beat the BVRA Angels (MB) 8-4, but lost 5-3 to Team Ontario (Waterloo).

In the U19 division, only Laurentides (QC) and Team Alberta (Calgary Rogue) remain undefeated. Laurentides beat Team PEI (Wave) 9-1 and downed previously undefeated Nepean Ravens 6-4. Team Alberta downed CORA (Ottawa) 9-2 and beat previously undefeated Team Saskatchewan (Regina Bandits) 8-1. Megane Fortin (Laurentides) shot to the top of the leading scorers list in the U19 division with 20 points, after picking up nine points in today’s two games.
