OLDS — Grizzlys teams finished in the top three in three divisions of the Grizzlys invitational U11 tournament, held Feb. 14-16 at the Olds Sportsplex.
In the A division, the Olds Grizzlys finished third, beating the NW Warriors.
That third-place finish came after what Alex Hogarth, a tournament coordinator, described as “some tough losses” to the Drumheller Raptors who swept the tournament, and the Stettler Storm.
The Grizzlys’ entry in the B division placed second after “a tight, back and forth, one-goal game against the West 39 Bucks,” Hogarth wrote in an email.
The Devon Drillers won the bronze medal game in that division, versus the Trails West Wolves.
The C division Grizzlys also came in second against Airdrie.
Sylvan Lake won the bronze medal game against Devon.
During the tournament a food drive was held.
“We totalled 861 pounds of food with a focus on school lunch items,” Hogarth wrote.
The NW Warriors received a pizza party for obtaining the most donations.
