Today, Michelle Lennox and Kristina van Eden had the opportunity to aid the Finnish Select team while they played against their opposing Finnish team, Tikkakoski, due to a shortage of players. The Finnish Select team won 6-4. The rest of the team had a bit of sleep, as we got to wake up at 8:30. After a quick breakfast we were off to the rink for a exciting day ahead of us. Once we got to the rink, we were all anticipating playing the one thing that we came here for...ringette! The first game the two Canada teams battled it out, in the end the white team ended up with the victory, but it was a hard fought battle for both of the teams!
Each of the Canada teams still had another game ahead of them.Team White played the Tikkakoski ringette team and the Red team played the Finland Select team. Despite team Red's efforts, they were a few goals short of a win, however they did an excellent job representing our country with their skill and poise. Directly after team Red's game, team White played the Finland Tikkakoski team. They came out strong and ready for a fight. With great effort team White came out victorious, especially with theoutstanding performance of team captain Melissa Kury who scored 7 goals in this game!
After the game, everybody went to Jagr's bar for dinner. Jagr's bar was right in the middle of downtown so everyone got to see the beautiful lights of Prague.
