In the first year the Washington Wild 14U team participated in the competitive Canadian female league, the team ended the league’s season with a 15-4-1 record, 71 goals and the championship league banner.

The team’s captain, Leah Johnson, plays as a defenseman and is from Brier. She had eight goals and nine assists during the season for 18 points.

Defenseman Aurora Spencer, from Lake Stevens, led the team with 26 goals and 13 assists, which amounts to a total of 39 points for the season.

The 14U Rep Tier 2 team consisted of ten skaters and two goalies, which is considered small for a hockey roster. The team practices twice a week at both Highland Ice Arena in Shoreline and Xfinity Ice Arena in Everett.

The team travels to Bellingham or the Lower Mainland of British Columbia for at least two games each weekend. The team also supplements their schedule with tournaments, such as the San Jose Junior Sharks Tournament over the Martin Luther King Day weekend, where the team won the Gold Medal.

Players range in age from from 12 to 14 years old and come from as far north as Bellingham and as far south as Tacoma.

The Wild 14U Rep Tier 2 team travels to Anchorage, Alaska this weekend with their older sister team, the Wild 19U Rep Tier 2 team, for the USA Hockey Pacific District Championship Tournament. If they win the tournament, they will travel to Burlington, Vt. for the USA Hockey National Championship Tournament from March 31 to April 4.
