Local athletes brought home bronze from a provincial tournament.
The Timmins Tornadoes U14A ringette team took third place at the Ontario championships in Waterloo this past weekend.
A five-game round-robin series kicked off the tournament, with Timmins skating away with three wins and two ties. The wins were 4-1 against the Ottawa Ice, 5-3 against West Ottawa, and 4-2 over Chatham. They tied against Greater Sudbury and Mitchell.
Timmins went into the semifinals in first place and faced off against the Sunderland Stingers, with Sunderland winning the game 3-2.
"This wasn’t the outcome Timmins had hoped for with a loss in the semi-finals, but the team kept their spirit high and headed into the bronze medal game against another northern team, Sault Ste. Marie," reads a Timmins Ringette Association news release.
