Saturday: EP Open

Final Thoughts
This weekend embodied everything we stand for as the hockey first team. Mind over matter—we refused to let setbacks define us. Compete to conquer—every game, every moment, we fight to be better than we were before. Heart of a champion—we played with passion, resilience, and a belief in each other.
We are not just playing hockey; we are changing the story. We are stepping onto the field with purpose, commanding the moment, and proving that we have the strength to conquer the mind. This weekend was another step in the right direction and I have no doubt that this team is capable of great things.
Well done, girls
