Description
The 10th Echo Sportscast kicks off the new NDA hockey season with a video contribution from an up-and-coming cinematographer who captured the spirit of an overtime win for the Ravens over the Bears in the 2024 opener. In addition, we have some clips from the Bears win over the Barons on Wednesday night at the Sam Jacks Recreation Complex in West Ferris and a promo of the NDA hockey tournament next Thursday and Friday.
Also featured is the OFSAA 'AA' girls’ basketball championship tournament taking place in the city with playoffs set for Saturday at West Ferris and Chippewa gyms. We checked out the opening game with the host West Ferris Trojans taking on the Stratford Warriors, the fifth-seeded team, Thursday morning.
And we’re keeping an eye on the Chippewa Ravens senior boys in Kingston for the provincial AAA championship and the Algonquin Barons senior girls hoopsters going for OFSAA ‘A’ gold in the Kitchener area.
In post-secondary action, we have interviews with five local products on the Nipissing Lakers men’s hockey team, including both goalies, following a much-needed two-win weekend at the Gardens. We even have video of the overtime heroics in a 4-3 victory Saturday night.
And our Echo Spotlight interview is with Darren Turcotte, coach of the Lakers women’s hockey team ranked third in the nation with a 9-1 record – our way of promoting their Saturday night contest at Memorial Gardens against the visiting Wilfrid Laurier Golden Knights. Puck drops at 8 p.m.
