BEDFORD\/FALL RIVER:<\/strong> The U13 AAA Metro West Force Red girls hockey team is set to make waves this February as they head to Qu\u00e9bec to compete internationally, representing the Halifax Mooseheads at a major tournament, a first for a girls team from the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The squad from the Metro West Force Female Hockey Club will compete in the 2026 Qu\u00e9bec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament, one of the world\u2019s most prestigious youth hockey events, featuring AAA and Girls divisions with teams from across Canada, the U.S. and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the tournament, teams are guaranteed multiple games and the opportunity to play in front of large crowds in Qu\u00e9bec City\u2019s Centre Vid\u00e9otron, where hockey hopefuls from around the world compete annually each February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Metro West Force Red (known as the Halifax Mooseheads Jr. Girls for the tournament), it\u2019s a milestone moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isla Carson, Amela Damczyk and Lila Munroe, all Georges P. Vanier Junior High students from the Fall River area, were interviewed about the team\u2019s upcoming trip prior to a game at the Greenfoot Energy Centre in Bedford on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited to play against teams from other places,\u201d Carson said, speaking about the chance to test her game on a bigger stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damczyk, who has been a standout in net for Force Red, added, \u201cIt\u2019s an honour to get picked to go. We\u2019ve worked so hard this season, and now we get to show what we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munroe echoed the team\u2019s enthusiasm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll be fun to meet new players and play in Qu\u00e9bec. We\u2019re going to give it our all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerson MacLellan of Fall River, the team\u2019s other goalie, is also going. She was not at the game on Saturday so we could not get comments from her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Force Red earned their trip by being selected to be the representative for the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Maritime Junior Hockey League. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red are having a strong season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Qu\u00e9bec tournament \u2014 celebrating its 66th year \u2014 draws hundreds of teams from across Canada and around the world in categories from AAA to girls divisions, offering young players an unforgettable hockey experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
