Ultimate Happenings: June Edition

Petal Power

Wild travelled to sunny and hot Vancouver last weekend to participate in Petal Power, the 2015 version of Flowerbowl.  Going 3-1 on Day 1, the 'experienced' ladies showed some BC Juniors teams that sometimes age does come before beauty.  

On Sunday, Wild fell in the quarters but finished strong by winning the next 2 games to end the tournament placed 5th out of 19 teams!  A great and fun weekend was had by all including our 2 coaches who got some tanning (or burning) and line-calling practice in.  Big shout out to all the rookies who did amazing in the first multi-day tournament of the year!
