Congratulations to our varsity girls hockey team, who took home the silver medal at the D8 finals. The girls kept the game tight and battled through each period with grit. Mikaela Robertson ended her high school hockey career with another hat trick. Best of luck to all of the grade 12s moving on, you will be greatly missed! For the rest of you, see you next season when we take home the gold. Go Saints!
