๐๐ WEHL Western plays in the national championship game today at 1:30PM at Plymouth Ice Center in Plymouth, Minnesota!
WEHL Western Head Coach Mike DeLong shares his excitement regarding last nightโs win and todayโs national championship game:
โWow what a game. Huge win tonight and we are so happy for the girls getting the opportunity to play in the National Championship game. The shoot out was crazy. I had Letti, Oaks, and Duck written down as our shooters after our Monday practice. When I said their names they all kind of looked at me likeโwho me?โ Our goalies were outstanding. Evie (Pritzel)and KG(Kaitlyn Gustafson) have split half games the whole tournament. Evie playing first half and KG playing the second. They gave up zero goals today including the shoot out. Our team is unselfish and has a ton of worker bees that keep bringing it every shift. I donโt think people understand how hard it is to get to the National tournament let alone the championship game. Looking forward to competing for a national title Sunday!โ ~ Mike DeLong WEHL Western Head Coach
โI am so excited to play in a national championship! My team worked so well together to have made it to this point. I am so thankful to have been with such a great group of girls!โ ~ Evie Pritzl, Goalie
