Leaside Wildcats Captain Emma Pye has a trick she plays

Leaside Wildcats Captain Emma Pye has this trick she likes to play on opposing teams. She scores on them when they think they’re running a power play. It seems to begin with just turning her mind to this unlikely sting when others are distracted by, oh you know, the game. Pye (#26) did it again Wednesday night in exhibition play against the Ryerson Rams at Mattamy Arena. It is the sixth time in her career in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League that the Wildcats forward has stunned opponents this way. Just when they think their 5 to 4 player advantage on the ice is about to yield a goal, Pye is down at their end doing just that for Leaside. Emma Pye led off the scoring against Ryerson and her teammates chimed in as well to win the good-natured match 5-1. Other Leaside goals came from Mariah Hinds, Kristin Della Rovere, Myah Bowal and Chloe Gonsalves. Last year, by the way, the score was reversed with the varsity girls winning 5-1.  Times change.
