SA国际影视传媒淭heySA国际影视传媒檙e off to the junior nationals next week. We played them twice and there were a few things we thought we could help them out with before they went.SA国际影视传媒�

Team Galusha moved through the women's territorials last year without a game because no one else entered. This year, the team got to practise against three women's teams from Inuvik.

SA国际影视传媒淲e donSA国际影视传媒檛 get enough games up here, so it was nice to see three Inuvik teams enter,SA国际影视传媒� said Galusha, adding that all six games were competitive.

The junior girls' team, made up of Inuvik youth Mataya Gillis, Pearl Gillis and Tyanna Bain, plus Halli Delorey from Hay River, will be competing at the U21 nationals in Quebec this week.

SA国际影视传媒淭hey taught us things we didnSA国际影视传媒檛 know for sure,SA国际影视传媒� said Mataya about the help from Team Galusha. SA国际影视传媒淚 think it will help when we go to nationals.SA国际影视传媒�

Pearl said it was very nice of the older women to help them out.

SA国际影视传媒淚t was a good experience for us so we can get more games in, because we donSA国际影视传媒檛 get that many games a year compared to other provinces and territories,SA国际影视传媒� added Bain, whose team went 2-4 in the tournament.

The girls thanked all the parents, players and volunteers for making the event happen.

Coach Nick Saturnino said learning from Team Galusha was a huge opportunity for the junior girls.
