Richmond Devils are looking to thrive on home ice as hosts of the B.C. Hockey provincial “A” women’s championships.
The tournament got underway last night at the Richmond Ice Centre’s forum rink and continues through to the final on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
The Devils opened their schedule against the Fraser Valley Jets and take on the Kamloops Vibe on Saturday at 10 a.m. The six-team event will see each of the pool winners advance directly to the semi-finals while the second and third place finishers will square off in the quarter-finals.
Richmond is coming off a 13-10-5 finish in regular season play.
The team is led by Alex Yallouz, Natalie Korenic and Danika Carter who were selected to play in last weekend’s inaugural South Coastal Female Amateur Hockey League all-star game. Yallouz finished sixth in league scoring with 36 points in 22 games, including 17 goals.
