The Yellowhead AAA Midget Female Chiefs played a pair of games in Stienbach recently against the Eastman Selects, splitting those contests by identical 2-1 margins. The first game, on Saturday, Nov. 19, featured just one goal for the visiting Chiefs, as Morgan Ramsay of Rivers scored her second goal of the regular season, in the first period. That, unfortunately, would the last of the offensive output for Yellowhead on the day, as a pair of Eastman goals ended up holding up for the win. A 25 save effort by Miranda Cook was all for naught, as the Chiefs faltered in Steinbach.

A pair of fights seemed to be the only spark seen from the Neepawa Natives on Wednesday, Nov. 23, in their 5-2 loss to the Steinbach Pistons. Forwards Brad Marshall and Riley Vautour each dropped the gloves for Neepawa in separate shuffles. Other than those pair of scraps, there were not many other highlights for the Natives against the MJHL’s top team.
