North Island Impact U15 Girls won a bronze medal at the recent BC Hockey U15 Female provincial championships in Richmond.

Four Powell River teammates contributed to the Impact's win over Richmond Ravens in the third place game on Sunday, March 23, including Bree Behan, Harper Berukoff, Claire Karger and Marin Carlos. Berukoff scored twice in the bronze medal game, while Carlos set up two goals.

Earlier that day, Carlos scored a late third period goal in the semi-final to force overtime versus the eventual champions from Kelowna, who ultimately prevailed 3-2 and advanced to the gold medal game.

During the round robin portion of the tournament, North Island defeated Castlegar 7-0 on March 20, reached the same goal total the next day in a 7-1 win over Williams Lake, and lost 4-1 on March 22 to a Surrey team that went on to claim silver.

Karger, Berukoff and Behan each scored against Castlegar. Powell River players were also prominent versus Williams Lake, with Carlos, who also had an assist, and Karger accounting for two goals each, and Berukoff scoring once.
