Team Canada was able to win the weekend series with two strong wins in the first two games and battled hard in the 3rd but was short just a little. Corinne Wengi was able to play in all 3 games and enjoyed playing alongside everyone!  The juniors and the intermediate team had a blast in Minnesota, playing great hockey and battling against great teams!!! Great work everyone!!   Corinne Wengi a long time Manitoba sledge hockey player has been invited to join the Canadian Women’s National Sledge Hockey Squad; Corinne has attended a number of events with the woman’s National team as a player and medical personnel. Corinne’s drive, playing skill and commitment did not go unnoticed by the selection committee. As a result Corrine has become the first home grown sledge hockey player to make a National program. Corinne’s selection is exciting news for the development of female sledge hockey in Manitoba and her involvement at the National level will be an inspiration to all aspiring athletes. Corinne will be a member of Team Canada in a tournament taking place in the USA February 22 to 24th; Please wish her all the best in her quest. Sunday the 3rd of February, the ice time for the Novice team changed from 1.15pm to 9.45am!!!
