DAY 7 - SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 2012

2. Lauryn Keen (F) - West

DAY 6 - FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2012

1. The 2012 Esso Cup volunteers
The volunteers at this year’s Esso Cup have earned this honour, as it is their time, effort and incredible enthusiasm that have made this year’s National Female Championship such as success. Thank you all!  

2. Jessica Gazzola (F) and Michela Cava (F) – Ontario
These two forwards earned the second star of the day, as they both scored twice in the second period, including a shorthanded goal apiece, to lead the Thunder Bay Queens to a semifinal win – and a spot in the gold medal game.

3. Cassidy Carels (F) – West
After being held without a goal in the preliminary round of the Esso Cup, Cassidy Carels (Bruxelles, Man.) broke out in a big way for the Pembina Valley Hawks, scoring both goals and maintaining an aggressive forecheck to help her team book a ticket to its first Esso Cup gold medal match-up.
