The West Coast Selects team is made up of 11 and 12-year-old girls from the U.S. and Canada who were selected to play on this elite team from a tryout held last December. The team is headed to Finland and Sweden to play some great hockey, see some awesome sights, and make new friends. This is a chronicle of their trip.

West Coast Selects vs Nikkarit C from Riihimaki
Prior to the beginning of the first of two games today, there was a flag ceremony presented by the host team, Nikkarit C from Riihimaki. After the ceremony, the girls faced off against the host team which consisted of 14-year olds and 15-year olds. The girls were pumped for the game and it showed on the ice. In the first of two 20-minute periods, the girls scored three goals. Brianna Tuuri-Cesarz scored first on a beautiful, unassisted shot. Up next, Lauren Lefler scored on a nice pass from Tuuri-Cesarz. The 3rd goal of the period came off the stick of Chloe Whiteside with the assist going to Brooke Baker. The period ended with the WCS leading 3-0.
The girls hung tough in the 2nd period getting one more goal from Lauren Lefler on an assist from Meagan Ondrick. The game ended with a 4-0 win, earning a shutout for our two goalies, Hannah Baker and Shannon Ropp. For the second game in a row, Rose Krasofsky earned the Fighting Spirit award from our team.
girls- look how PROFESSIONAL we look standing on the blue. Like you said Brooke, "Look like we've done this before!"
