Congratulations Kienne, Delight, Laura, and Jennica!
The Jets closed out the weekend with a 4–2 win over Kootenay Thunder. Goals were scored by Kylei, Jennica, and Trinity, with Laura sealing the win with an empty-net goal in the final minutes. Kylei’s goal marked her first as a member of the Creston Jets.
