3rd Time Lucky for Coach Ostrosser

Coach Earl Ostrosser went into the provincial championships having won back to back silvers in the girls 14U division the past 2 years. This year, he was shooting for gold and his wish finally came true with a nailbiter win vs Force. Seaside Surf pulled off the win with a 3rd set victory over their cross town rivals. The team may not even have reached the final if not for a legendary victory vs the Coquitlam Ducks in the semi's. In a crucial point towards the end of set two, Nicky Howard made a miraculous out of court diving save to win a key point in the set. In doing so, she severely injured her shoulder, stopping play for 30 minutes and was then rushed to the hospital. The team collected themselves, inspired by their teammate and won the 2nd and 3rd set to reach the final. After the match coach Ostrosser went to the hospital and presented Nicky with her medal. The team took another medal-winning picture with Nicky when she was returned home. A great ending to a great season.
