Fox’s shutout and special teams lead Queens to game two victory over Broncos
Brent Forster – Red Deer Polytechnic Athletics
Olds, AB – The Red Deer Polytechnic Queens are one win away from their fourth Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) Championship.
The Queens had a balanced attack, strong special teams, and outstanding goaltending in a 4-0 victory in game two of the best-of-five final.
The Polytechnic’s netminder Madison Fox was unbeatable on 24 shots.
The visitors opened the scoring at 18:35 of the first period on the power play. With traffic in front, RDP defenceman Kiera Mulder found room behind Broncos goalie Cienna Kinghorn low on the glove side. Rocky Mountain House’s Jordyn Mclaughlin had the lone assist.
Before the end of the frame, the Queens went up a pair. Mary Hirsch and Jailyn Bablitz entered Olds College’s zone on a two-on-one. Hirsch’s initial shot was stopped, but Bablitz capitalized on the rebound with 26.9 seconds remaining. Brooke Skripichayko, a Bachelor of Education Elementary student, recorded the secondary assist.

The Queens’ power play went to work again at 12:00 of the second period. On a five-on-three advantage, Alli Soyko cashed in, picking up her second goal of the series. Hirsch and McLaughlin picked up their second assists of the contest.
Then 6:30 later, Monica Bowtell picked up a loose puck in the Broncos’ zone and scored high on the blocker side.

Neither side could find the back of the net in the final frame and the Queens locked down a 4-0 win.
Kinghorn turned aside 23-of-27 shots (0.852).
The RDP Queens scored on two-of-seven power play opportunities. The Queens’ top penalty kill was also in fine form, stopping all nine of the Broncos’ opportunities with the extra skater.

Westerner Park acknowledges the recent announcement of Peavey Mart closing all its locations across Canada, and the significant impact this will have on our community.
Peavey Mart has been the naming sponsor of the Centrium since 2021, a partnership that has helped create lasting memories for thousands of Central Albertans. Their support extended beyond their name on the building—Peavey Mart embraced our community by participating in activities during Westerner Days and supplying essential items that brought these events to life.
“Our partnership with Peavey Mart exemplifies the kind of meaningful relationships that can have a lasting impact,” said Shelly Flint, CEO of Westerner Park. “While their closure is undoubtedly a loss for the community, we are grateful for the support they’ve provided over the years and remain committed to finding the right partnerships to continue serving Central Alberta.”
As Westerner Park navigates this transition, the organization remains as a hub of Central Alberta. This includes not only hosting more events and attractions on the park but also finding new ways to connect with the community. “Whether it’s collaborating on events outside of our grounds or encouraging our team to participate in local initiatives as volunteers, our focus remains on strengthening our ties with the people and organizations that make this region so vibrant,” Flint added.
Westerner Park is actively seeking businesses and organizations that share a vision of fostering growth and connection within the community. Any parties interested in exploring partnership opportunities are encouraged to reach out.
