In game #5 we met the toughest team in the tourney. They went undefeated in their first 4 games.
After the first period we were tied 2 all. The atmosphere on the bench was intense, you could tell that everyone was giving their all.
About a minute into the second period hyvinkaa scored to take a one goal lead. I think they came into the game thinking it would easy considering our score against Turku blue in game 4. They sure picked it up In the 2nd half.
They popped In a couple more goals and we couldn't manage to rally bAck, with the final score of 9-4. I tried to block that part out of my memory... Although i felt a little better learning that they were the finish champs - that's pretty impressive.
After the game they were awarded the trophy while we had to wait the outcome of the next game to know if we got second or third plaCe.
That game went in our favor and we got second!!!! The 3 captains were called up to get the trophy and i have to say that was one of the proudest moments I've had being a Canadian ringette player - picking up a trophy and bringing it back to our team to celebrate. Our team as a whole had a great tournament and surprised a lot of people over here and I'm glad i had such a great group to share it with :)
