Steamboat girls hockey team wins Vail tourney
The Steamboat Stampede girls U19 hockey team won the Martin Luther King Day tournament in Vail last weekend, going 5-0. The Stampede concluded the dominant run with a 4-1 victory over Aspen in the championship game.
“It was a great team effort led by captains Margaux Shea and Bella Story,” said coach Mike Nelson in an email.
Thirteen players earned a point in what Nelson described as a well-balanced attack.
Goaltender Madi Yamashita was named tournament MVP after allowing just five goals in the five games and registering a shutout.
