Mar 1, 2019 | 4:46 PM

MEDICINE HAT, AB — Things just got a little ‘muddier’ at the U16A Ringette Alberta Provincial Championships in Calgary.

The Medicine Hat Mud Hens are one step closer to clinching a provincial title, opening the tournament with a 4-2 victory over the St. Albert Saints on Friday morning.

The local girls’ squad comes into the weekend as one of Alberta’s hottest ringette teams, boasting an intimidating 15-0-1 record through the regular season.

Much of their success comes from their chemistry with one another. Many players for the Mud Hens have been playing with one another for upwards of a decade.
