Ben Strybos of Aldergrove, Zone 3, was fifth place with an individual all around total score of 68.800, but his floor score of 12.600 was the day’s best score. Other medals were won on ice, as the Fraser Valley’s female hockey team captured gold after
an unbeaten run through the competition. Sunday morning in Mission, the Valley team – which features more than a dozen Surrey and White Rock players – edged Zone 4 (Fraser River-Delta) by a 3-2 score in a game that was in doubt until the final buzzer. Aldergrove’s Alicia Perez put Fraser Valley ahead less than three minutes into the game. Before the first period was over, Priya Sidhu of Surrey and Alexis Kahlert of Maple Ridge upped the difference to 3-0. Fraser River Delta replied with tallies from Hailee Piendl in the second period and Megan Lai with six minutes remaining. Fraser River Delta then spent the final minute in the Fraser Valley zone, but were unable to force overtime. “Coming into the
tournament, on paper I think we were the favourites to win,” said Fraser Valley head coach Al Wozney. “So a lot of that pressure was on us. The girls really came together in the second game against Vancouver Island. And that shootout win propelled us through the next two games.” On ice of a different kind, Fraser Valley’s boys curling team – skipped by Cloverdale’s Tyler Tardi – won bronze. The Tardi rink lost just once, but it was during a semifinal match Saturday, 6-3 against Zone 4’s Brayden Carpenter. In the bronze game, Team Tardi made short work of Zone 2 (Thompson-Okanagan), winning 9-3 in six ends. Tardi had a strong start, scoring two in the first end. Then after holding the Zone 2 team to
