EAST HANTS: Three girls hockey players from East Hants and their U15 AAA Metro East Inferno teammates are heading to The Rock later this month.
Goalie Kennedy Rees, Claire Umlah, a defenceman, and defenceman Blair Livingstone, of Nine Mile River, helped their Inferno squad to a 2-1 win over the Cape Breton Blizzard in the Hockey Nova Scotia provincial final of the U-15 AAA Girls division on the weekend.
The win punched the team’s ticket to Newfoundland for the Atlantic championship from April 16-19.
In the final, Emersyn Chaisson and Brianna Payne had the goals while Rees was stellar between the pipes.
