In Washington, D.C. from February 11-15 some of the top U19 women\u2019s hockey teams from across Canada and the U.S. took part in the 9th annual JWHL Challenge Cup.

The U19 portion of the tournament had a total of 22 teams of which Dawson College and Edouard Montpetit were the only Quebec representatives. Dawson was dominant in their group games amassing victories of 7-3, 6-1 and 10-0. The only tight collar moment came in their final preliminary game, a 2-1 victory over B.C.\u2019s Okanagan Hockey Academy. Dawson advanced undefeated to the elimination rounds.<\/p>\n
In the semi-finals they easily disposed of their Ontario opponents, Canadian International Hockey Academy, 5-0. Just a few hours later was the finals and their opponent was NAHA White from Vermont.

It was comeback time and Dawson\u2019s leading scorer for the tournament, Jade Downie-Landry, scored two goals in the 3rd period to give the Blues the 2-1 victory.
