The under-11 Powell River Queens travel team opened their season with a 5-0 win in their exhibition game over Campbell River Storm at Hap Parker Arena.
In a game played on September 24, goal scorers for the Queens included Scarlett Venselaar, Hannah Ollson, Claire Statham, Elly Lawry and Molly Culos, while Mikenna Engmann held her ground for a shutout between the pipes.
According to Queens spokesperson Elise Statham, both the under-11 and under-15 Queens recently received confirmation that they'll be part of league play with Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association (VIAHA), playing teams up and down the island. Statham said for the first time in history, these two all-female teams have the opportunity to compete in a schedule involving 12 regular season games.
“This is a huge milestone for our Queens program,” said Statham. “With six of those games on home ice, you'll have ample opportunity to come out and cheer on your Queens.”
