Ravens’ season goes well beyond score
They refused to let the season end.
Proof that the disappointment of a game's result fades quickly, the
Richmond Ravens sat in their dressing room swapping stories even as the clock
approached midnight—two hours after their heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Tri Cities
in the final of the provincial Bantam girls’ hockey championship March 23, at
Richmond Ice Centre.
“The emotion changed from a disappointing result to the disappointment
the season was over,” said Ravens’ coach Tony Lindsay. “They didn’t want to
leave because they knew when they left the dressing room they were no longer a
team.”
A veteran of the ice hockey wars, having coached the game for more than
three decades, Lindsay said the bond this team enjoyed will remain his foremost
memory. That’s beyond the Ravens’ dominant on-ice success in which they won
league and playoff banners, three tournaments, and were ranked among the top
three teams in the nation by myhockeyrankings.com much of the 2016-17 season.
