The “Stars” weren’t quite aligned in the favour of the Fort Frances Competitive Atom Leafs.
A red-hot goalie was the difference as Stars Purple (Winnipeg) blanked the Leafs 1-0 in their divisional championship game Sunday at the 2017 Stars Cup there.
Fort Frances opened the tournament with a 2-0 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings.
Piper Miller and Kassidy Gurniak were the goal scorers while Madison Bliss earned the shutout.
Miller did more damage in the Leafs’ second game–notching a pair of goals, to go along with one from Courtney McCoy, in a 3-2 triumph over the St. Boniface Stars White.
The Leafs then qualified for the final by tying their rematch with St. Boniface 1-1.
McCoy netted the Leafs’ goal in that one.
Meanwhile, the Fort Frances Competitive PeeWee Leafs went home happy with a 2-1 victory in the bronze-medal game against the Lakeside Blues.
Katarina Malgo and Raelle Redford got the goals while Isabella Fortes earned the win between the pipes.
Other scores for the PeeWees’ games were unavailable at press time.
