The Utica Jr. Comets 12U Girls Team earned the Central section’s bid to New York State Amateur Hockey Association Tier 2 State Tournament, taking a pair of games against the Ithaca Shooting Stars.
A young Comets roster, comprised of eleven first-year players, including three underage 2013-birth year players, has relied on a balanced offensive attack, strong goaltending, and a commitment to structured two-way play.
The Comets open tournament play on Friday, March 1 in Amherst against Team Long Island, and also face the Adirondack 46ers and Buffalo Bison in preliminary round competition.
