North American Hockey Academy

 NAHA White returned to the McGill University Martlet Showdown in Montreal after a few years absence, and took home the Championship in a thriller- a 7-6 overtime game that was eventually decided in a shootout.

 Along the way to the finals, NAHA went 4-0 with wins over Okanagan Hockey Academy (BC), College Edouard Montpetit (QC), and John Abbott College (QC), and then an OT semifinal win over Oakville. That set the table for the 3rd meeting this year with Montpetit in the finals. In the second weekend of the year at Nepean White lost 4-0 in a game that showed they'd done their physical testing the week before. They were primed for the Saturday morning game in the round robin, and in a game with great pace and transition, won 4-2. No one saw the run and gun game coming for the finals, but in a game where teams traded leads, it came down to a goal with 1 minute left by White to force OT, that White dominated but couldn't convert. 

 The shootout saw White goalie Kaitlyn Evans stop the first 2 shooters from Montpetit, while Annie Pankowski and Amanda Pelkey burried their chances to seal the Championship for White!

 Both NAHA teams head to Ottawa late on Thursday after practice to participate in the Nepean Showcase.

Teams come from across Canada to participate, including BC, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec.
