THE BRANDON SUN Three Westman players have made it past the first stage of trying to make Team Western's under-17 female hockey team. Jenna Burdy of Brandon, Lindsey Cowling of Hamiota and Aimee Collins of Pilot Mound are three of 16 Manitobans who were selected to move on to the next stage of the team’s evalu ation process. They were chosen based on their per formances at an evaluation camp in Shilo on June 24. More than 40 Manitobans, including 15 from Westman, took part in the camp. Ten players from Manitoba and 10 from Saskatchewan will make up Team Western’s roster at the national tourna ment. The location of the event hasn’t been finalized, but it will take place next February. Burdy, 15, is the lone goaltender to move on from Manitoba. She is a mem ber of the Brandon Lady Wildcats club team and led them to a silver medal fin ish at the Western Canadian Shield Senior A championship in Winnipeg in April. “It feels so good to be known as the top female goalie in your province under 17,” Burdy said Wednesday. “It’s unbe lievable.” She will play with several club teams this summer, including the Westman Selects in the AAA Challenge in Brandon next month, but isn’t sure for whom she will suit up this fall. Cowling and Collins both look like they're following in their older sisters’ footsteps: Cowling’s older sister, Sharla, plays for the University of Manitoba Bisons hockey team and Collins’ older sister, Jocelyn, will be a member of the Bisons this fall. In addition, Aimee’s first cousin, Delaney Collins, was a member of the Canadian national hock ey team that won gold at the world female hockey championship in Mississauga, Ont., in April. Team Western coaches will evaluate these 16 players over the next four months before finalizing the roster in October or November. JENNA BURDY— The Brandon goalie is tops in the province.
