Losing out on the provincial gold medal with just a few seconds left on the clock may have been heart-breaking for the Richmond Devils’ women’s hockey team.
But considering they were seeded sixth out of six teams for the 2022 BC Hockey Women’s Championships in Hope this past weekend, their achievement is all the more remarkable.
Advancing from the round-robin to the semi-finals and then to the final, all the games were closely fought, culminating in a gold-medal game which was tied at 2-2 with 3.5 seconds left.
That’s when the Devil’s North Shore opponents pounced, sending the Richmond team home with a well-deserved silver.
