Wildcats Have Joined the MFMHL

The Westman Wildcats regional female midget hockey team have joined the Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League beginning in the fall of 2010.

The Wildcats have joined six other rural regions that form the MFMHL and participation in this league will allow them to participate in the Provincial playoffs and an opportunity for a spot in the Esso Cup National Championship.

The Wildcats will still continue to participate in all of the same Showcase tournaments and weekends they have in the past while being a member of the MFMHL.

Two current Westman Wildcat female regional midget hockey players will be attending Hockey Manitoba’s POE top 40 this weekend in Brandon competing for a spot on Team Manitoba that will compete at the 2011 Winter Games.

Kiara DeKezel of Deloraine and Kayleigh Chapman of Virden will join 38 other hopefuls from around the province to showcase their talents in front of selectors and the coaching staff for a spot on the team that will compete at the Canada Games in 2011.

Both of these athletes are going into their senior year and have competed for the Wildcats in the last two seasons.
