Comments: This tournament was marked by how close the top 5 teams were.
It was so close, that Pool II's standings were just about decided by a
nightmare tie-breaking scenario (had Manitoba and UBC tied their game,
Alberta would likely have been eliminated on the basis of penalty
minutes!). A testament to Alberta's defence was the fact that they were
able to make the final by scoring (and allowing) only one goal.
See you later,

Newspaper article from the Edmonton Journal
February 17, 1998 Early-bird Pandas head to nationals
Scott Cruickshank
Special To The Journal
Edmonton - You've got to get up pretty early in the morning to beat
the Alberta Pandas.
In fact, you've got to get up pretty early just to see the women's
hockey team.
In their first season of operation, the Pandas have endured a winter
of non-prime-time practices, including two a week scheduled for 6:30
a.m.
All that, just to get ready for the Canada West showcase this past
weekend at the University of Calgary.
"That's a pretty devoted bunch of girls," said Alberta coach Howie
Draper.
"Next year, we'll be pushing pretty hard to get more of a regular ice
slot. They certainly showed that they deserve it."
The Pandas went undefeated in four games en route to winning the
conference's inaugural women's hockey crown.
That earned Alberta a trip to the CIAU tournament in Montreal Feb. 26
to March 1.
"Maybe now they'll say, 'Hey, these guys won a championship. Let's
give them some good ice time,' " chuckled team captain Trish Semeniuk,
adding that the bleary-eyed workouts actually pulled the players
together.
"Everyone on the team was willing to make that sacrifice. That
willingness paid off in the end because we were ready, we were
prepared.
"It was a little hard at the beginning but once you get used to it, it
was all right."
In addition to practising, the Pandas have been busy compiling a
19-7-4 record in the Northern Alberta Women's Hockey League.
Overall, Draper's squad owns an impressive 31-12-8 log.
"We've made our place in Edmonton now," said Semeniuk, a second-year
chemical engineering student. "It helps out our program a heck of a
lot to start out with that kind of victory.
"It's just a big boost for the whole program here at the U of A."
However, the six-team conference tournament was hardly a cakewalk for
the Pandas.
All four of their games were deadlocked after regulation time.
"That's got to be a record somewhere," said Draper.
"It was really stressful. It just seemed we couldn't finish a game
with a win. But everything worked out in the end."
[Edmonton Journal article continued...]
Round-robin ties against UBC and Manitoba remained unbroken, but the
playoff games were a different story.
The Pandas and host Dinosaurs were scoreless after 60 minutes and a
10-minute overtime period in the semifinal. Stacey McCullough's
goalkeeping and Krysty Lorenz's goal gave Alberta 1-0 shootout
victory.
The drama continued in Sunday's final against Manitoba as Lorenz
netted her third goal of the game seven minutes into overtime.
The 4-3 win made the Pandas the conference champs, something no other
women's hockey team can boast.
"It's great to be on the first page, on the first line of the history
books," said Draper. "The girls were ecstatic. They have a sense of
what they've achieved, this being the inaugural year. They're very
pleased with themselves."
With the Pandas capturing the conference title only days before Canada
plays for Olympic gold, women's hockey is quickly losing its tag as a
novelty. It's arrived.
"This whole year has been perfect timing," said Draper.
"We got a lot of attention early on. That was great for us; I don't
know that we would've got that same kind of attention had we not been
in an Olympic year. So it's been very timely."
