Penticton female hockey duo ready to represent BC on the national stage
Calleja Misson and Amy Polvere are the only local products playing at the 2024 Esso Cup
When the hockey season started in September, Calleja Misson and Amy Polvere knew there was a chance they could soon represent their hometown of Penticton on the national stage.
However, they first had the tall order of leading the U18 AAA Thompson-Okanagan Lakers to a BC provincial championship before they could help the team solidify its spot in Canada's prestigious Esso Cup.
And yet, even as the only two players from Penticton on a team that draws athletes from Kamloops to Osoyoos and even Trail here, they are poised to shine on the national platform.
On Sunday, April 21, Misson and Polvere will be in Vernon for the 2024 Esso Cup, which will feature five regional champions from across the country.
While Misson is a Grade 12 student at Princess Margaret, Polvere is in Grade 9 at Penticton Secondary and is one of the Lakers' youngest players.
The two local stars will lead Thompson-Okanagan this weekend in Vernon when they open the tournament against Nova Scotia's Northern Selects.
Although the team will host the 2024 Esso Cup, it took a three-match win over Fraser Valley Rush in March to cement its spot at the top of the province.
The Lakers will therefore be the only BC team in the tournament.
With Misson and Polvere being the only players from Penticton on the team, one parent told Western News it has been a long journey for the duo to get to this point.
Driving to Vernon and Kelowna three times a week for training and hitting the winter roads of British Columbia for competitions in the Lower Mainland are just some of the reasons for this, Cynthia Misson said.
They are definitely excited to play in a national tournament, she said, adding that the duo had already helped the Lakers win the Female World Sport School Tournament in Winnipeg in January. The girls have bonded and are there for each other. The parents are ready to support them and were just super proud of all the girls.
Esso Cup games are played at Kal Tire Place, where the BCHL's Vernon Vipers also play.
The gold and bronze medal competitions will take place on April 27.
The Lakers are led by general manager Kevin Bathurst and head coach Ed Patterson.
