A local Ringette team is super stoked to be going to Edmonton for a fundraising tournament.

The Airdrie U10 Step 2 Blue Devils will play in the 'Ringette Scores on Cancer' tournament starting January 27.

"It's kind of a fun tournament where the girls, first of all raise funds for something in giving back to the community as well as being able to play at the Ice Palace at West Edmonton Mall," said team Treasurer Clara Leblond.

Leblond, who's daughter plays on the team, said the girls not only met their fundraising goal but exceeded it.

"Initially our team had to raise $1600 to be able to participate...they've raised an additional, to date, $550 as well."

The tournament runs from January 27 to the 29, and you can keep up to date by visiting Hockey Scores on Cancer.
