Selects capture provincial title

The Lac St. Louis Selects bantam AA girls’ hockey team became the 29th area team, including 24 boys’ and three girls’ all-star squads, to capture a coveted Dodge Cup provincial championship last weekend in Saguenay Lac St. Jean /Cote-Nord. The Selects defeated the Laurentides Pioneers 2-1 in Sunday evening’s final. This was the second year the Lac St. Louis Hockey Association decided to send club teams to the Dodge Cup, instead of all-star squads, and the second consecutive year a girls’ AA team captured the blue banner. The midget AA Selects turned the trick last year. Four other girls’ teams participated in the four-day tournament, including the peewee AA Lac St. Louis Elites, which lost 3-0 to Richelieu in the semifinal and the junior A Dollard des Ormeaux/Pierrefonds Marquis, which lost 4-2 to the Chaudière Etchemin also in the semifinal. On the boys’ side, the peewee AA Deux Rives Dauphins advanced to Sunday morning’s semifinal, only to drop a 2-1 decision to the Beaubourg Seigneurs.
