An incredible end to a historic season for Girl’s hockey in Indianapolis was capped off with a major victory by the 10U Jr Fuel Girls team. 12U and 16U Jr Fuel Girls teams finished as runners-up in their respective divisions, amplifying Jr Fuel Girls success in the newly formed league.

All three Jr Fuel Girls travel teams participated in the first year of the Central Girls Hockey League (CGHL), competing against teams from St. Louis, Southwest Michigan, Cincinnati, and Tennessee.

10U Girls had a few decisive victories in route to their championship, with an 8-2 win over Cincinnati and a pair of shut-outs against Tennessee, with scores of 5-0 and 6-0, respectively. Nora Hiott’s goaltending was the difference for the Jr Fuel this weekend, as she was in net for all three games. With the CGHL season concluded, Joselyn Gustin was the Jr Fuel’s scoring leader with a whopping 31 goals in 17 league games.

The 12U Jr Fuel Girls had a somewhat disappointing 2-1 loss in their final after running away with the regular season. Their 13-2-1 record had them as the first seed going into playoffs. What makes their record and post-season accomplishments impressive is that they had earned a spot in the 14U division! Lily Bojrab was the team’s leading scorer in CGHL play with 26 points in 16 games. Goaltender Avery Bridge ended her fantastic regular season with 8 shutouts.

Our 16U Jr Fuel Girls team lost a nail-biter of a final game against Cincinnati’s 19U team with a score of 1-0. These ladies battled hard in very close games all weekend. Their playoff performance was a great illustration of their development this season. They put in a ton of work this year and made great strides against some really tough opponents.

We congratulate all three of our IYHA Jr Fuel Girls travel teams on their significant accomplishments this weekend. As founding members of the CGHL, it’s great to see our players challenged while also experiencing the satisfaction of seeing their hard work pay off!
