Championship news from around the country: Final wrap

Here's a quick glimpse of how the country's media covered the final day of the 2007 CIS women's hockey championship.

The Ottawa Citizen (and most Canwest papers) ran this story about Alberta's win Monday night.

The Sun Media chain counters with their own wrap-up story. You can read it HERE.

The Edmonton Journal focuses on Lindsay McAlpine and her remarkable journey to tournament MVP. You can read the lengthy story HERE.

The Toronto Star and other publication picked up the Canadian Press story on the championship game. Take a look by clicking HERE.

The Gateway, Alberta's student newspaper posted THIS story to their website. It features a nice picture of two Panda players embracing after the win last night. Meanwhile, in Montreal the McGill Tribune talks about the championship that got away for their Martlets. Read it HERE.

Even our national broadcaster, the CBC, jumped into the fray by posting THIS story on their website.

Christine Rivet says their will be no "bronze lining" after Laurier's upset loss to Manitoba in the bronze-medal game. Her analysis in the Waterloo Record can be found HERE.

And finally, the Chronicle-Herald in Halifax finally produced some championship coverage with a brief story about Moncton's fifth-place showing. You can view it HERE.

Considering all the media coverage I think it's safe to say university sports are on the rise across the country.
