Entering the 2022 South Coast Women’s Hockey League provincials seeded sixth out of six teams, the Richmond Devils may not have expected to walk away with medals.
But they did so last weekend in Hope, managing to advance from the round robin past the Fraser Valley Jets, then beating the Kamloops Vibe in the semifinal.
In the final, they faced the North Shore Rebels. With the game tied 2-2 until the final seconds, the Rebels managed to score and the Devils came away as silver medallists.
“Grit and determination was on display from each and every player,” said Richmond Devils board member Don Barthel. “All the games were closely fought.”
Barthel added that despite their heartbreaking loss, the Devils showed poise as silver medallists.
