Hellcats Make It To Finals In Park City
Date Posted: 12/20/09
The Hellcats won their first three games in the annual Goaldigger Tournament in Park City the weekend of December 11th-13th.  Wins over the Park City Predators (4-1), Oakland Seals (2-0), and Jackson Hole (4-1) earned the Kitties a slot in the Finals against the same Oakland Seals team they beat in 'round-robin' play.  In the Finals, the Seals scored with 3 minutes to go to take a 1-0 lead, then they tacked on an empty netter in the final seconds to beat the Hellcats 2-0.  The Kitties had a great time on and off the ice, and are looking forward to returning to Park City next season.  Huge thanks to Jim and Karen Moore who hosted the Hellcats the entire weekend!

Date Posted: 8/19/09
Participating in the annual Stella Cup tournament in Las Vegas July 23-26th provided the Hellcats with nice opportunity to play a trio of games right in the middle of the 'off-season'.   In Game 1, the Hellcats fell to the host team, Team Stella 3-2.  Goals were scored by Beth O'Dowd and Kristi Burk - earning assists were Laura Tullos and Jen Allison.  In the second game, the Kitties pounced early and often en route to a 9-2 win over Phoenix area Chix With Stix.  Nadine Barber scored her first ever hat-trick in the game.  Other scorers were Lori Moore (with her first two Hellcats goals), Molly Marquez (2), O'Dowd, and Tullos.  Earning assists were Burk (3), Moore (2), O'Dowd (2), Tullos (2), Leslie Perkins (1), Marquez (1), and Allison (1).  The 3rd game resulted in a 4-3 loss to the Phoenix Scorpions.  Marquez, O'Dowd, and Barber scored the goals, while Burk, Marquez, and Jess Hamill earned assists.

The Hellcats won their first ever tournament over Mother's Day weekend - the 8th Annual Front Range Faceoff Tournament in Denver, CO.  The 'Kitties' beat the Oakland, CA Seals in their first game 2-0 (Laura Tullos scored both goals). In the second game, the Hellcats beat the Denver Ice Monkeys by the same score, 2-0 (Molly Marquez and Tig Moore scored, while Kandice Torno earned her second straight shutout). The Hellcats then won their third game 6-2 against the Pueblo Little Caesars, which landed them in the semi-finals on Sunday morning (Laura Tullos, Kristi Burk, Nadine Barber, Ayla Moore, and Tig Moore scored - Tig had 2 goals). In the semi's the 'Kitties' beat the Denver Rockies 2-0, as Torno earned her third shutout in 4 games (Beth O'Dowd and Kristi Burk scored the goals).  In the Finals the Hellcats beat the Minnesota Renegades 4-1, scoring 4 unanswered goals in the game, after giving up one a couple minutes into the game (the goals were scored by Ayla and Tig Moore - Tig scored a hat-trick and was named game MVP).

Defensemen, Marquez, Jess Hamill, Jen Allison, and Amy Foss where outstanding throughout the tournament, as was goalie Torno.  It was the first time a Durango area women's travel team has won a tournament with as many as 12 teams competing in the same level.
