The Red Deer U14A Grand Central Stitchin Elev8 captured gold at the Ed Horvath memorial ringette tournament in Medicine Hat during the weekend.
The Elev8 downed the Calgary Velocity 7-4 in the final, to avenge an earlier 10-4 loss to the Calgary squad in their pool.
The final proved to be a battle with Red Deer falling behind 2-0 before fighting back to take a 3-2 lead. However, the teams were tied at three at halftime with the Elev8 taking control in the second half.
Earlier the Elev8 downed the previously undefeated St. Albert Nitro 4-2 in the semifinal. They also beat the Strathmore Ice 15-1 and the Bowview Snype 8-2 in pool play.
