REGINA, Sask. – Ontario Red will be looking for the three-peat as it faces Quebec in the gold medal game at the 2016 National Women’s Under-18 Championship. The rivals have previously met six times, with Ontario Red winning all six of their prior meetings, the most recent being in 2011.                                                    

Quebec advanced to Sunday’s gold-medal game at Evraz Place after a 3-0 shutout of Ontario Blue, while Ontario Red booked its ticket to the final with a 9-1 win over B.C.   

Ontario Red has won all nine gold-medal games it has appeared in since the tournament began in 2001. Quebec won five-straight silver medals between 2001 and 2008, taking home silver again in 2011.

TSN and RDS, Hockey Canada’s official broadcast partners, will broadcast the gold-medal game Sunday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. ET on TSN2; check local listings for details.

In Saturday’s placement games, Manitoba skated past Team Atlantic 6-1 for seventh place, while Alberta won the fifth-place game 6-4 over host Saskatchewan. For the second straight year, B.C. and Ontario Blue will play in the bronze-medal game at 1 p.m. ET with the game being streamed online at HockeyCanada.ca. Day passes for the medal round can be purchased on-site at Evraz Place for $15.
