As the weather gets a bit more palatable to outdoor happenings, that means the indoor sports begin to wind down for another year.

That includes indoor soccer and the first of multiple tournaments in the coming weeks had its go-round.

The Yk Galaxy Soccer Club held the Diversity NWT and Nunavut Spring Tournament at the Fieldhouse and everything wrapped up on Sunday evening with the winning teams in each division getting to hoist the Galaxy Cup.

Defny Torindo, the clubSA国际影视传媒檚 administrative co-ordinator, said nearly 20 were entered in this yearSA国际影视传媒檚 tournament and they were spread across five divisions.

It wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 just Yk Galaxy Club teams, either.

SA国际影视传媒淲e had a total of 19 teams SA国际影视传媒 15 YK Galaxy and 4 Sundogs SA国际影视传媒 that ranged from U5 to U17 (and older) age groups,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淲e had a wonderful turnout that included 200 Galaxy (players) and 50 Sundogs players. Everyone had great and friendly competition fighting for the Galaxy Cup, with (the) Sundogs taking three (titles) home.SA国际影视传媒

Indeed, the Sundogs, known officially as the Yellowknife Bay Soccer Club, took home top spot in the U9/U11 boys and girls division (Sundogs Boys), U11/U13 boys and girls division (Sundogs U13 Girls A) and U11/U13 girls (Sundogs U13 Girls B). The Galaxy ended up capturing the U13 boys (Galaxy Avengers) and U15/U17 boys and girls (Galaxy Dorado).

In addition to the action on the pitch, there was a parents/coaches game featuring the older kids, something Torindo said was one of the highlights of the weekend.

SA国际影视传媒淭he players were cheering on their parents to put pressure on their coaches,SA国际影视传媒 she said.

Team Black, featuring mostly parents, took the lead, 4-3, with one minute remaining in regulation time and Torindo said thatSA国际影视传媒檚 when the real excitement began.

SA国际影视传媒淎ll the players were screaming SA国际影视传媒淒onSA国际影视传媒檛 let him shoot, donSA国际影视传媒檛 let him get the ball!SA国际影视传媒,SA国际影视传媒 she said in reference to Dillon Torindo, Yk GalaxySA国际影视传媒檚 owner and head coach.

It worked as he didnSA国际影视传媒檛 get the ball and didnSA国际影视传媒檛 score, giving Team Black the win in a game which Torindo said she hopes becomes a new tradition as part of the tournament.

It was a long weekend, she added, and everyone was happily exhausted but it was worth it.

SA国际影视传媒淥verall, the turnout this year surpassed our expectations and we cannot wait to see what next year will hold,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淲e hope to have more teams versus our Galaxy players as it creates more fun competition for local players.SA国际影视传媒
