Black Magic team wins in ringette Special to the News
EMC sports - The West Ottawa Wild U9 Black Magic spun their ringette magic again on the weekend of Feb. 16-17 to win the West Ottawa Ringette Association tournament. This was the team’s second tournament win of the season, having won the Whitby Tournament in January. In the tournament, the West Ottawa U9 Black Magic started off with a 3-2 victory over Nepean. They followed this up with a 7-4 win over Arnprior before shutting out Sunderland 7-0 to advance to the championship game. In this championship game, the Black Magic played hard, winning by an 8-5 score over Whitby. Three different players took turns as the team’s goaltender over the four games of the
tournament. On Friday night, Feb. 15, the team got together for some team bonding and pampering by enjoying a Spa Olivia spa party. Spa Olivia, a home based and mobile spa business in Stittsville, is the team’s sponsor. Connie Holm, owner of Spa Olivia, was on hand for the team’s championship game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex and congratulated the girls on their big win. The West Ottawa U9 Black Magic ringette team is coached by Stephanie Nugent with Jason Cope and Sacha Guilbault serving as assistant coaches. LoriAnn Sheehan Graham is the team’s trainer. The West Ottawa U9 Black Magic, like all West Ottawa Ringette Association teams, draws its players from the Stittsville/Richmond/Munster/West Carleton/Kanata area.
