| While in the Twin Cities over the holidays, I had a chance to watch some of the best girl's high school hockey players compete in the 2003 Schwan's Cup at the U of M. I was there with the parents and aunt and uncle of one of the CEC players, Michelle Maunu, #16. The game I saw was CEC versus Wayzata in the semi-finals of the tournament. CEC fell behind but rallied from a 3-goal deficit in the third period to tie the game. No one scored during the OT - so it went to a best of 3 shoot-out. CEC won the game and moved onto the finals, where they defeated Benilde/St. Margaret's to win the Schwan's Cup. |

| Lots of action in the first couple of periods, but no goals for CEC. According to one fan in the stands, CEC was mixing up the regular lines too much. |
| OK gals, let's get back to basics and our usual lines - and win this thing! |
| So in the 3rd CEC tied the score and took the game into overtime. |
| From the OT faceoff (above) to the final horn, no one scored - so the game went into a shoot out - that was won by CEC. |
| Congrats on the win - and now the finals and hopefully winning the 2003 Schwan's Cup (which CEC eventually won). |
