Final Thoughts

Warren Meredith (right) was the voice of the Gee-Gees all season long calling the games on the Streaming Sports Network. During the national championship he appeared as an in-studio host as well as in the booth handling play-by-play.

The Alberta Pandas demonstrated why they win year in year out. Two teams from the west walked away with medals and that's a huge reason why any fans of women's hockey should be happy about the result of the gold medal game. Alberta's victory secures a second seat for another western team to advance to the championships next season.

The Manitoba Bisons demonstrated the perfect reason for another western team to advance, their bronze medal. With all due respect to the QSSF, Concordia and Carleton are still building towards the point where they should be at this tournament, one of them making it to the tournament next season would in my opinion only mock what the championships top six should look like.

The Ottawa Gee-Gees finished above Concordia and Carleton, yet they still lost all their games at this tournament. The Gee Gees should feel a little better knowing the way that Alberta and Laurier finished the tournament, and should be extremely proud of fighting back from being down three in their 6-5 loss to Moncton. It was a fantastic tournament where the right teams took home the hardware. This was a great experience for myself and everybody at SSN, one more time I'd like to thank all the many people who helped us along the way.
