McGill’s Moffatt masterful as Martlets corral Catamounts

BURLINGTON, Vt.- Kelsi Moffatt, a freshman rearguard from Pickering, Ont., scored the game-winner midway through the third period and added an assist as McGill rallied for a 3-2 win over the University of Vermont in women's preseason hockey at Gutterson Fieldhouse, Saturday afternoon.



McGill, which outshot the Catamounts by a 25-23 margin, improved to 3-0-1 against Vermont over the last four seasons.



Vermont opened the scoring early in the first period when Delia McNally connected only 71 seconds after the opening faceoff, stepping into a slap-shot at the top of the circle, which beat McGill goaltender Charline Labonté.



The Martlets responded less than five minutes later when veteran defender Cathy Chartrand's shot from the point deflected off the boards to rookie Erika Pyke of Spryfield, N.S., who put it past a sprawling Vermont goaltender Kelci Lanthier.


Vermont struck again on the power play late in the period. Amanda Pelkey centered the puck to Erin Wente in front of the net, Wente fought through her defender and got a quick pass off to Meghan Huertas who beat Labonté with a wrist-shot at 17:45.



The Martlets responded just 32 seconds later when Jordanna Peroff's attempted dump-in from the neutral zone took a strange bounce and found its way past Lanthier to the back of the net, making the score 2-2.



McGill pulled ahead with a power-play goal midway through the final frame. Moffatt took a wrist shot from the point that found the top corner at 9:07 past Lanthier who was screened on the play.



Lanthier recorded 22 saves in her first start and was saddled with the loss.



Labonté, who missed the team's first four preseason contests while attending a national team training camp, stopped 21 shots to earn her second win in as many starts.



"It was nice to have 'Charlie' back in the lineup as she is a big part of the team," said McGill head coach Peter Smith, whose troops also edged St. Lawrence University 2-1 on Saturday in Canton, N.Y. "We really showed up and I was quite satisfied with our play over the weekend. They were both grinder-like games, with neither team giving an inch. It was more like rugby or football than hockey but those type of games are good for our development."



The McGill bench boss also singled out two freshmen as being the sparkplugs in the win over Vermont. "I thought that Pyke up front and Moffatt on the back end both had a breakout game," he said.



Vermont (0-1-1) hosts Rensselaer on Oct. 7 while the Martlets (3-2-1) will open regular season play in the Quebec-based RSEQ conference when they host Concordia on Oct. 7 at McConnell Arena. Puck drops at 7 p.m.



McGill will be looking to extend their 105-game winning streak against Quebec league opponents in addition to a 38-game win streak against the Stingers.

A New Perspective, and A New Appreciation for Our Great Game!

Jennifer Botterill

20 September, 2011

As I am on a flight from my hometown of Winnipeg traveling back to my new home of Toronto, I am enjoying the beautiful colours of the sunset light up the sky. I always love my trips to Winnipeg, and this was certainly no exception. With the saying of ‘Friendly Manitoba’ on the license plates, this province remains true to its form. With my morning run through the neighbourhood I grew up in, every person smiles, and seems to want to chat. Along with sunshine and blue skies, I am filled with gratitude. It’s all so refreshing! This place was always good for a boost of energy.


The past few months have been on the reflective side for me. My trips back to Winnipeg seem to influence me in that way as well. Perhaps it’s as I walk along the same roads I walked when I was a five year old to get to the outdoor rink. Throughout my career it was a place that was great for recovery, and for reminding me of the joy of the game!


I smile to think of all of the AMAZING opportunities that the game has provided me. It’s nice to see the possibilities for young players now. Each day I learn a bit more about the growth of women’s hockey, and it makes me excited!


As I reminisce, I try to think some highlights of my playing career. One thing rises above all others. The best highlight, by far, is the chance that I had to be surrounded by great people. The friends that I made at high school hockey, at Harvard, in Toronto and with the National team are ones that I will have for life. As a person and as an athlete, I tried to pride myself on bringing out the best in those around me. My hope was always to make others better, to help them play with pure confidence, and to share the joy of the sport! My ultimate honour would be for my teammates to feel that I influenced them in a positive way, even if just in a small way.


This is indeed a new phase of my life, and I enter it as a very happy girl. I feel a new sense of fulfillment. I smile with joy to think of being involved in four Olympic games. It honestly feels like it has flown by! From being a young rookie in ’98 to sharing in a part of Canada’s sports history in 2010, it’s always been a journey for me, and one I strived to enjoy with balance in my life.


From the rinks of Wildwood Park in Winnipeg, to Father David Bauer Arena in Calgary, to Bright Hockey rink at Harvard, to the Mastercard Center for the Toronto Hockey Club. From ball hockey in the basement with my older brother, to Olympic gold medal games and the Olympic final game in Vancouver - hockey made me smile.


It is fun that the game continues to make me smile. Taking a step in a different direction is providing me with a new perspective on the game. It’s fun to see girls starting out in the game, and my neighbours young kids become more outgoing and energetic because they play on girls hockey teams. It’s fun to see players succeed and to share in the excitement of opportunity that lies ahead.


Was hockey also demanding and challenging? Absolutely. Were there moments that were difficult and exhausting? Yes! And in many different ways. On the other hand, do I feel grateful? Extremely. If I had to summarize my feeling with this new transition of my life, it would be one of appreciation. I am so thankful for my teammates, and for all of the moments we shared. Though the challenges I always took pride in performing in key situations and big games. Playing the game at an elite level was a dream come true. I continue to build on that energy and passion, and am using that to fuel my new dreams and visions!


With my new journeys ahead, I am loving speaking engagements and having the chance to help people in many fields of life. Some television opportunities, various events, some charity work, and some new roles with the IIHF and IOC have all been a nice change of pace. I may not be in the rink for quite the same hours, but have found great ways to enjoy the game in a new capacity. I may have also found a true love of tennis, yoga, and running along Lake Ontario! All very refreshing for me.


I continue to share in the joy of the game with friends that are still playing. At the very same time I also share in the fun of hockey with friends and family that have little kids just starting out.


It has been, and continues to be, a true honour to be a part of the culture of the great game of hockey. Thanks to you all for sharing in it.
