While three Parkland hockey players celebrated winning a national championship with the Assiniboine Community College Cougars women’s hockey team, Mar. 19, in St. Louis, a Dauphin player had to watch in heartbreak and wonder what could have been.

Jaida Chartrand and the Dakota College at Bottineau Lady Jacks handed the Cougars a loss in the season opener, ACC’s only loss during the season.

In just their second season in the American Collegiate Hockey Association, the Lady Jacks went on to post a 12-4 record, with Chartrand recording a goal and six assists in 11 games.

Dakota College qualified for the ACHA national tournament in St. Louis, Mar. 15 to 19.
