OPP, Ontario Fire Marshal investigate Wyoming house fire
One last game for Lambton Attack’s U18
March 30, 2023
Lambton Attack’s Felicia Park finds herself sprawled out on the ice still fighting for the puck in a Sunday exhibition game against the Chatham Crush. The game would end in a 1-1 tie.
The Attack squad will have a much different look at the beginning of next season as 15 out of 16 players will be moving on from the team. Sunday’s exhibition game was held to honour those who were graduating from the team.
Players of the Lambton Attack Under 18 squad lie up on the blue line to be honoured for their years with the Lambton Attack Girls Hockey program. Pictured from the left are, Riane McEachern, Julia Boelens, Jorja DeCaluwe, Lizzie Swain, Gaby Batte, Kylee Shortt, Ava Thompson and Paige Hudson. Players not in the picture are Alison Cuthbert, Felicia Park, Kara Duffy, Dayna Robbins, Amelia Hoven, Alex Salaris and Teagan Cox. The one player returning next year is Chloe Vanderzon.
