  • Big Third Period Leads White to Fourth Win

    SPOKANE, Wash. – At the end of two periods on Friday night, the Spokane Women’s Hockey Red and White teams were once again locked up in a tight battle with the score knotted at three goals apiece. In the final 25 minutes, though, SWH White surged and wrapped up the opening six-week stretch with their fourth win.

    SWH White (4-1-1) got multi-point efforts from Lexi and Breeyn, and Shari kept things clean in the third as White beat SWH Red (1-4-1) 6-3.

    Emily got things going in the first period as Red opened the scoring for only the second time this season. Abby S got the assist on the goal just 2:32 into the evening, and SWH Red held the early 1-0 lead.

    Mel V netted her fourth of the season to knot the score at 1-1 and briefly tie Addie for the league lead in goals scored with 6:40 to play in the first frame, but less than two minutes later, Addie gave SWH White the 2-1 lead with her fifth of the season. Ally held the puck in at the blue line and got it down the right wing boards to Lexi who sent a feed to Addie in the slot on the play, and after one, SWH White led 2-1.

    Laura tallied her fourth goal of the season and tied the score at 2-2 early in the second, and the goal set off a stretch of three goals in the next six minutes. Laura’s tally came just 1:50 into the frame, Breeyn answered for SWH White to reclaim the lead at the 5:19 mark, and Rena tied things again at 8:12. For Breeyn and Rena, the goals were their first of the season.

    As the period wound down, the teams traded chances, but Zak and Shari stood tall in goal, and when the horn sounded to end the second period, the score remained knotted, 3-3.

    In the third, though, SWH White controlled play throughout, and it took only 34 seconds for them to take the lead for good. Mellissa took a shot from the left point that was turned aside, but Lexi backhanded home the rebound, and SWH White had the lead back at 4-3. Two more SWH players got their first goals of the season for White in the final moments of the game, as both Taylor and Meagan scored to push the lead to the final margin of 6-3.

    Shari (2-0) made 22 saves and yielded four goals to earn the victory in goal, while Zak (2-3-1) allowed five tallies and made 26 saves and they were saddled with the loss. Breeyn recorded three points in the game – a goal and two assists – while Lexi had a goal and an assist. SWH White out-shot SWH Red 33-22 in the game, including 13-8 in the final stanza.

    The teams will take a break for the final week of October to celebrate the Halloween holiday, and they will return to the ice on Friday, November 7 at 8:15 on Eagles Ice Arena Rink 2.

  • White Back in the Win Column as Red Comeback Falls Short

    SPOKANE, Wash. – After allowing a pair of comebacks in the last two weeks, the Spokane Women’s Hockey White team nearly watched a third straight game slip away late on Friday night. This time, however, SWH White held on and they found an empty net goal to get back on track with a win.

    Jen netted her first goal into the empty net in the waning seconds of the third period, capping off SWH White’s (3-1-1) 4-2 win over SWH Red (1-3-1) on Friday evening.

    For the second straight week, the first period elapsed scoreless, but in the second period, SWH White got tallies from a pair of veterans of the league. Mel V netted her third goal of the season on a pass from Kaitlin eight minutes into the second frame, and Amy added her second of the season late in the stanza to give White a 2-0 lead heading into the second intermission. Early in the third, Kelsey scored her first of the season with Marina and Amy assisting, and SWH White stretched their lead to 3-0, and SWH White was in full control.

    Midway through the third, though, SWH Red found their offense, and it was spearheaded by Addie. The speedy center tallied two goals for the second time in the young season, and with eight minutes left, suddenly SWH Red was back within a single goal. With the two goals, Addie assumed the league lead with four goals on the season as well.

    SWH Red continued to apply pressure in the final minutes of the game, but Kenny was equal to the task in goal for SWH White. Kenny made six saves in the final frame, and he made 23 saves in the game, and with the final seconds ticking down, Jen got the puck just inside the SWH Red blue line and slid it into the empty net to cap the 4-2 win for SWH White.

    Kenny earned the win in goal for the first time in 2025, making 21 saves in the contest, and Zak (2-2-1) took the loss with three goals against and 20 saves. Amy and Addie each had multi-point efforts in the game.

    The teams will be re-shuffled, and they will play their last of six straight weeks to open the season on Friday, October 24, at 8:15 p.m. at Eagles Ice Arena rink two.

  • Red Comes Back Again; Settles For Tie With White

    SPOKANE, Wash. – For the second consecutive week, the Spokane Women’s Hockey Red Team trailed in the final 30 minutes of the game, and for the second consecutive week, they rallied. This time, however, SWH Red had to settle for the tie.

    Amy ripped home the game-tying tally with less than four minutes remaining in the game, and the two goaltenders made sure that was the last of the night, as SWH Red (1-2-1) and SWH White (2-1-1) skated to a 3-3 draw at Eagles Ice Arena on Friday night.

    Leila gave SWH Red the lead midway through the second period with her first goal of the season, but the lead was short-lived. Ashley scored the first of her two goals of the night to tie things up less than two minutes after the opening tally, and Ashley’s second marker gave SWH White the lead early in the third. Abby S assisted on both of Ashley’s goals.

    Midway through the final frame, Laura knotted things up with her third goal of the year, and as the game went late into the period still tied 2-2. With 6:38 to play in the contest, Abby S notched her third point of the night with a go-ahead goal for SWH White, and it looked like that might hold up until the final moments of the night.

    With 3:15 to play in the game, Addie picked up a loose puck for SWH Red deep in the defensive zone, and She found Amy breaking through the middle of the ice. Amy raced up the left wing side and ripped a wrister low to the far post to beat Kenny in goal and knot the score at 3-3 with 3:10 to play.

    Kenny (0-1-1) and Zak (2-0-1) each allowed three goals in the game, Kenny made 19 saves, and Zak stopped 13 shots. Jessica M, CeCe, Robin, and Addie each had assists in the game, and Abby S had two helpers.

    The teams will play their fifth of what will be six straight weeks next Friday, with face-off again at 8:15 on Eagles Ice Arena Rink 2.
