Gorski, Isaac Win Ponytail Challenge

Wallaceburg’s Emma Gorski and Walpole Island’s Kaitlyn Isaac helped the West Coast Selects girls hockey team win gold this past weekend at the Ponytail Challenge in Vaughan, Ontario.

Gorski didn’t allow a goal in the first day of competition, backstopping her team to a 4-0 shutout win over the Regional Express Gold, and a 5-0 win over GTA.

Splitting the netminding duties with her goaltending partner on Saturday, Gorski still did not allow a shot past her in a win against East Coast Selects and a tie against Pro Hockey.

In the gold medal final, Gorski was finally solved, fighting to a 1-1 tie after regulation. After playing two scoreless overtime periods, Gorski stopped each East Coast Selects shooter in a shootout, helping her team win gold.

Gorski received the MVP of the championship game.

Isaac also proved to be an asset to the West Coast Selects team over the weekend, having a strong performance in each game.

Gorski is slated to play for the Midget ‘AA’ Chatham Outlaws next season, and will attend Chatham-Kent Secondary School, while Isaac will play Midget ‘AA’ for the Sarnia Lady Sting, and will attend Wallaceburg District Secondary School.
