There were many highlights during the week for the Sharks players but special mention goes to Maddi Schmid for being named MVP of the tournament. Besides scoring a bagful of goals including a hat trick in the final she played nearly every minute of every game inspiring her team mates by example. To top off the week Maddi was named in the Born '93 Australian Squad along with Michaela Davies and Jess Brooks to play in the Junior Worlds later this year. Sam Cocokios was also named in the Men's Born '93 Team. Congratulations Sharkies for doing your State and Club proud.
