Majority of the girls went shopping, but a few groups stayed behind at the hotel to catch some extra z's. Today was our last day of playing ringette. We had a busy and tough day with three games. Team Red played 2 games while team White only played one. After finally getting into the equipment room we boarded the bus and traveled to the Helsinki Old Ice Hall and dropped off Team Red, where they played their first game. After a long fought battle the score was not in favour of Team Red. They fell a few goals short of winning. From there Team Red was forced to board the bus with equipment still on to go to Jarvenpaa to play their second game of the day.</div> <bR> <div> The next game was played by Team White against Jarvenpaa. After 9 games of challenging ringette, Team White's hearts were still in the game but their bodies were unfortunately not. We ran out of steam and were defeated by a score of 9-5. </div> <bR> <div> After arriving in Jarvenpaa Team Red almost immediately hit the ice for their second game. It was an extremely exciting and challenging game. Team Red still had a burst of energy left for the last game. They defeated the Jarvenpaa team with a score of 5-4. This was the most exciting game because it was Team Red's first win of the trip. </div> <bR> <div> After each game in Jarvenpaa one player from each team was presented with an MVP award. For Team White the award went to Stacy Johnson and for Team Red, it was Holly Favell.  Both Stacy and Holly had amazing performances. Stacy scored one goal and had three assists and Holly played an amazing game having faced 43 shots in their game. After the games both Canadian teams and the Finnish team sat down for a dinner together. Awards were given from the coaches of each Canadian team to selected players for their performances throughout the tour. A special "Mr. Congeniality" award was given to Lonnie (a.k.a. Big Bear) for his incredible coaching skills and awesome personality. </div> <div>  </div> <div> Dayna & Holly</div> <div>  </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="515"><div> Team Red with their opponent, Jarvenpaa</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 434 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="1063aac0.jpg" border=0 width="570" height="428" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="515"><div> Team Red & Team White with their silver platters</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 434 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="1083aac0.jpg" border=0 width="570" height="428" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div> Team White coach Lonnie Krahn with his "Mr. Congeniality" award</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 686 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="10afea80.jpg" border=0 width="510" height="680" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 38 WIDTH="515"><div> Team red coaches shows Bob Barnes and Don Van Tetering dressed up in their Canadian ties for their final game</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 434 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="10c3aac0.jpg" border=0 width="570" height="428" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
