For the first time in the team’s 20-year (or so) history, the Webster Cyclones 16U Tier 2 Girls team will be heading to the Nationals.
At last weekend’s State Championships in Buffalo, the team capped an impressive 35-12-7 season with a strong showing, powering through a tough semi-final field and earning a trip to the Nationals later this month. After defeating Wheatfield in a thrilling 1-0 semifinal matchup, the team fell in the finals to the Adirondack Youth, who earned an automatic Nationals bid. However, the Cyclones were awarded an at-large bid to the tournament and will compete in Irvine, California from March 30 to April 3.
This is the first Webster Youth Hockey team — boys or girls — in the history of the organization to make it all the way to Nationals.
They can use our help to get there, too. Obviously, the cost of traveling to California for the tournament is pretty significant. So the team has set up a GoFundMe page to help raise some money for the trip. If you’d like to support the girls in their quest to bring a National title back to Webster, click here.
Also this news of note: the Webster Girls’ 19U team also made it all the way to the State Tournament this year, making this the first year ever that Webster had two girls’ teams make it to the States. Congratulations to both teams!
