The Rockyview Jr. Ladies Silvertips had a tough go in their opening weekend of the 2017 season.

The team played their first two games of the year on the road, first against the Sherwood Park Titans on Saturday (April 22nd) and then the Capital Region Saints the following day.

In the first game, Samantha Matthews scored the only goal for the Silvertips in a 9-1 loss to the Titans and was kept off the score sheet for the second game.

The team pushed hard but came up short in a 12-5 loss to the Saints.

Next up for the Jr. Ladies team is a date with the Calgary Axemen on Wednesday night (April 26th)
