Peace region local’s part of 2026 National Championship win

Two girls from the Peace region now have the right to call themselves National Champions.

Both Taylor Wasylchew and Kasey McLeod, of Grande Prairie, were a part of the U18 Red Deer Chiefs’ 4-3 overtime win yesterday in Dieppe, New Brunswick (Saturday, April 25), where they took down the Ontario representative, the Stoney Creek Sabres.

The Chiefs went undefeated throughout the tournament, after finishing 4-0 through round-robin play, and have now claimed their first national title in program history.

In seven games, McLeod recorded three assists, while Wasylchew had two points with a goal.
