Silver medal not diminishing magical provincial run for Atom Wildcats
MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat Atom Wildcats fought and clawed for a shot at a provincial medal, and while it’s not the colour they may have wanted, they pint-sized players are holding their heads high.
On Sunday afternoon, the Wildcats were shut out 4-0 by the Airdrie Atom Lightning in the gold medal final of the Alberta Atom Female Provincial Championships at the Kinplex.
Medicine Hat entered the game with a perfect 4-0 record in tournament action, but were unable to get anything past Lightning MVP Keygan Brost, who made 23 saves to pick up the shutout.
Wildcats defenceman Cambelle Gross said it would have been great to have won provincials on home ice, but is proud of her team’s effort all week.
