The Muskie girls are coming off a win at the annual Sturgeon Heights tournament in Winnipeg over the weekend.
Fort High beat Vincent Massey 8-3 in the final, avenging an earlier loss to the Trojans in round-robin play.
The Muskies opened play with a 6-0 win over St. John’s Ravenscourt, then blanked College Jeanne-Sauve 2-0.
Then after falling 6-4 to Vincent Massey, the black-and-gold blanked the Selkirk Royals 5-0.
Kamryn Sandelovich played in net for all the games the Muskies won, recording three shutouts.
Game MVPs were rookie Khali Degagne, Annalise (CC) Hayes, Siobhan MacKintosh, and Sandelovich.
Hayes was named MVP of the championship game.
Meanwhile, the Muskie boys’ hockey team also was in Winnipeg for a tournament on the weekend, going 4-1 to capture the ‘B’-side title.
Fort High opened play with wins over Garden City (3-1) and Stonewall (6-1) before losing 6-2 to Sturgeon Heights (the eventual ‘A’-side winners).
But the Muskies rebounded with a 7-1 romp over St. Johns Ravenscourt before edging the JH Bruins 5-4 in the ‘B’ final.
The squad will open defence of its NorWOSSA title on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at home against the St. Thomas Aquinas Saints (Kenora).
