Familiarity with each other on ice breeds success for Prince George girls chasing national title
March is going to be an exhausting, travel-packed month for Jocelyn Atkinson and Abby McLeod with three ringette championship tournaments on their schedule.
“Hopefully we’ll get a medal at provincials and nationals. If we bring it, we could,” said Atkinson said. Atkinson and McLeod started playing ringette when they were four. Atkinson plays centre and is the playmaker, while McLeod is more of shooter patrolling the wing. They’ve played with or against each other for 11 years and that chemistry shows when they get into games as linemates on all three teams.
The girls each had an older sister to emulate who played the game at a high level. Paige Shaw is four years older than her sister Abby, while Jocelyn’s sister Taryn is also four years her senior.
