“This has been so amazing; we have such an amazing staff and have shared in all of this. I am so happy and so proud of everybody on our team,” said head coach Vicky Sunohara. “We spoke about getting one per cent better every day and the team really showed that. They wanted to get better every day and be better for each other. It was a full team effort all tournament long.”
Grenier recorded her fourth win in as many starts. She finished the tournament with a 1.00 goals-against average and .935 save percentage, along with two shutouts.
Canadian captain Chloe Primerano of North Vancouver, B.C., was named Best Defender for the second straight year. She also joined Zablocki — who led the tournament in goals (8) and points (12) — on the media all-star team.
