A junior high girls hockey tournament played in CBS during the weekend of April 25 - 26 saw lots of gritty action including during this semi-final game at CBS Arena between Paradise Intermediate in the purple jerseys and St. Peter's Junior High in the white. Paradise was leading 3-2 going into the third period but St. Peter's quickly tied it up with the Phoenix not getting the go ahead marker until there was exactly two minutes left in the game. Interest heightened even further seconds later when Paradise was penalized for tripping, but managed to hold on to win the match.
