Pasqua makes the cut

Langley teen will represent BC at women's U18 national hockey championships

After a months-long evaluation and tryout process, Danika Pasqua had made the final roster.

The 17-year-old was named to Team BC for next month’s 2017 Canadian women’s U18 hockey championships.

The competition runs Nov. 1 to 5 in Quebec City.

Pasqua, who plays for the Pacific Steelers of the Junior Women’s Hockey League, had made the team in 2016 as well, but a broken leg sidelined her a few weeks before the competition.

She is off to a great start for the Steelers, leading the team in scoring with five goals and eight points in five games.
