University of Manitoba Bisons the top seed in national women’s hockey tournament
The University of Manitoba women’s hockey team knows what it is to go the distance and then some.
The Bisons won a conference playoff game in quadruple overtime en route to the Canadian university women’s hockey championship starting Thursday in London, Ont.
Over half the team went to quintuple overtime to win a conference playoff game two years ago. So Bison veterans have played in the two longest games in Canada West women’s hockey history.
“Our team, I feel like a lot of us feel we’re never out of any game that we play in,” said fifth-year forward Alana Serhan of Porcupine Plain, Man.
