Skylar Ruschpler Helps Lead the Soo U15 A Greyhounds to a Gold Medal in London

The Soo U15 A Greyhound Girls took home the gold at the London Devilettes Tournament over the February 3rd to 5th weekend in London, Ontario.

At the London Devilettes Tournament, Skylar Ruschpler led the U15 A Greyhounds with 15 points while goaltenders Pippa Holmes and Cassidy Cooke allowed only ten goals between the two throughout the whole weekend that included one shutout a piece.

Coach Jamie Orlando told Saultsports that ‘the group showed unbelievable hustle and heart this weekend. We battled through adversity and injury, but every time we got knocked down, we came back stronger. Even down a goal with six seconds left in the gold medal game, they still believed they could win it. And they did. This weekend was some of the most complete, team hockey our group has put together. Our no quit mentality and team play got us this gold. I am incredibly proud.”
