Sixteen Ms. Conducts arrived in North Conway for the Dave Dore Winter Classic Tournament and kicked off the weekend with a team pasta dinner and -- due to curfew -- an abbreviated game of Flip Cup and shortened hot tub time.

Despite freezing rain outside and an early morning wake up, the team faced off against the New England Brewins on Saturday morning. Although the Ms. Conducts had the first scoring chance on a second-shift breakaway by Julie Dalton, the Brewins went up 2-0 in the first period. Goaltender Michelle Donnelly shut down the Brewins for the rest of the game and strong offensive pressure by Lori Gress, Keri Capobianco (spinning off a defenseman!), and Amy Thompson kept the game exciting. The Ms. Conducts got on the board in the third period on a one-timer shot in the slot by Dalton (assisted by Carol Lowenstein and Michelle Bramante). Defenseman Colleen Callahan hit the post in an effort to tie the game and defenseman Katie Castagno's shots from the blue line narrowly missed the net. With less than three minutes to go in the game, Dalton intercepted a pass and carried the puck down the ice. Winger Pam Hegarty crashed the net and tipped in Dalton's pass for the game-tying goal.
In spite of many non-calls by the refs (a trip on Sandy "Stiletto" O'Sullivan, a hook and a check on Dalton, a slash to Hegarty), the women held strong and stayed physical. Great teamwork and passing combine for a good game.
