The 3A Girls Ball Hockey teams will converge on Indian River High in Springdale. Eight teams will compete in a two-division round robin play beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Friday.

In addition to the gold and silver SSNL medals, a championship banner will be awarded to the winning team. SSNL believes strongly in the values and principles of Sportsmanship. In recognition of this, an individual sportsmanship medal will be presented to one deserving person from each team. All teams and officials vote to recognize a team who has displayed great sportsmanship, as well. This team is awarded the Team Sportsmanship Banner.

School Sports Newfoundland and Labrador tournaments are made possible, in part, because of the generous support of corporate sponsors. Subway, Dairy Farmers Association/School Milk Foundation and R.B.C. are sponsors of SSNL.
