Top national ranking and successful start to season
For the very first time, the Battlefords AAA U18 Sharks have cracked a top spot in the national girls U18 hockey rankings, gaining the rank as the third best team in the country with a record of 6-0-1 by myhockeyrankings.com
“I think it’s pretty significant as the Sharks have never been ranked nationally before. So this year, it’s due for our participation and invitation to the Fire Starter Tournament, you know it kind of put us on the map,” said Sharks Manager, Trenna Derdall.
The Calgary Firestarter Tournament is one of the biggest girl’s hockey tournaments in the country that brings in some of the top teams from Western Canada to compete.
The Sharks went 4-0-1 in the tournament that took place Sept. 12 – 15 in Calgary and grabbed the bronze medal, beating the St. Albert Raiders Slash 2-1.
