The Toronto District Catholic School Board girls hockey tournament has been completed at the two-pad Don Montgomery Recreation Centre in Scarborough with young players from all over the City on hand. There were many recognizable faces from Wildcats hockey. The all-day event enfolded 140 girls from 28 schools and we see the puck dropped (top) by Ellen Lowden, event chief and Kathy Baker, Canadian Olympic field hockey player and Pan Am torch carrier. Ellen Lowden reports that championship game was between the suitably-named Hayley Wickenheiser team (with a roster of 16 from Father Serra, All Saints, St. Benedict, St Elizabeth, Our Lady of Victory and St. John XXIII) and the Marie Phillip Poulin team made up of Our Lady of Sorrows squad with 19 players. Our Lady of Sorrows won 2-1. Good game. Medals were awarded and there was much bragging, it’s reported. Bulldog readers will have seen the earlier post about Mrs. Lowden and her interesting girl’s hockey clothes company called Goldiegear. Bottom picture shows organizing friends Mary Baker, Kathy Banfield, principal of Blessed Sacrament School, and Ellen Lowden.
