Minor female hockey took over the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre last weekend.

The Surrey Female Hockey Association hosted its annual Superheart tournament Friday through Sunday, with 39 teams from throughout B.C., as well as teams from Washington and Ontario competing in seven categories.

The host association fared  well on the ice, qualifying teams for championship games in five categories, winning once. The Surrey Falcons won the Pee Wee A (11-12 year-olds) championship game 3-1 over the North Shore Avalanche.

Falcons teams lost both championship games in the Atom (9-10) division to North Shore, with the Avalanche winning the Tier 1 final 3-2 in a shootout and taking the gold medal in Tier 2 with a 4-1 win.

The Tri-Cities Predators edged Surrey 3-2 in the Bantam A (13-14) division, while the Falcons fell 4-3 to the Western Washington Wildcats in the Bantam C final.

Other championship games saw Williams Lake double Orangeville (Ontario) 4-2 in the Midget A (15-17) game, and the North Shore Winter Club win the Pee Wee C final 3-2 over the Meadow Ridge Barracudas.
