On Friday, Dec. 4, the Camp Red Eagle/Parkview Dental Bantam Jets Girls hit the road bright and early to make their first game in Whitby. Their first game, against St. Thomas, was scoreless right up until the third period when our very own Jade Bronson #77 scored with 3 minutes remaining giving us a 1-0 win and creating a shutout for goalie Olivia Dawe #1.
Friday  afternoon the girls faced Whitby, who came to the tournament undefeated in their league.
Our girls played against all odds to change their statistics and tied them 3-3 with the most penalty minutes they have ever had. Alana Jentas #13 and Mackayla O’Conner #9 both scored in the first period, then the Whitby team scored twice in the second period and then a third time in the third period. Jordan Brownlee #14 scored our teams third goal in the third period to tie the game.
