Local hockey champ brings home international gold
Whitney South
Huron Expositor
Jaymee Nolan is a kid
who just loves hockey.
So needless to say
when she got the call
inviting her to play for
Canada in the World
Selects Invitational in
Helsinki, Finland, she
couldn't have been more
excited.
"I was very surprised,"
she smiled. "I was really
happy, like jumping off
the walls happy:'
After battling some of
the best under -14 teams
from around the world,
including the US, Russia
and Sweden, Jaymee
found herself with not
only a gold medal but
memories that will last a
lifetime.
"It was great, I was
amazed we did so well
against all the interna-
tional teams," she said.
Accompanied by dad
Adam, Jaymee and her
teamates had the chance
to explore Prague for a
week before getting down
to business in Helsinki.
For both, it was the first
visit abroad, but hopefully
not the last.
"It was really intesting,
I really want to go back,"
said Jaymee.
World Selects tourna-
ments are held all over
the world for boys' and
girls 'teams between the
ages of 11 to 18, and
encourage friendship and
international coopera-
tion. The girls even had
the chance to meet their
rivals off the rink,
traveling to and from
games with the opposing
team.
For Adam, getting a
chance to see a different
side of girls' hockey on
such an international
stage was an eye-opening
experience.
"The hockey was excel-
lent," he said. "I was really
amazed at how much tal-
ent there was in these
girls'
In a tale that now seems
as old as the sport itself,
the final game came down
to Canada versus the US
for the gold, while the
canuck girls took top spot
with a score of 2-0.
The Canadian team was
made up of girls from all
over Ontario, including
12 -year-old Megan Carter,
whose parents originally
hail from Seaforth, while
her grandparents still live
just outside of town.
Both Jaymee and Megan
finished in the top five of
the tournament with 9
points each, Jaymee with 5
goals, 4 assists; Megan
with 3 goals, 6 assists.
