The juniors were 26-8-3 overall and the belles were 26-10-1 before pool play kicked off Monday.
This is the second year for the junior and belle AA programs in the St. Albert Ringette Association and last year at nationals in Regina the juniors finished 13th and the belles placed 14th.
This year at the Ringette Alberta championships in St. Albert the juniors finished fifth at 2-2 and the belles were 4-1 as bronze medallists. A 2-1 loss by the belles in a 10-minute mini-game tiebreaker was the difference between going for gold or bronze.
Fifty-six players will face-off in the fight against lung cancer at the third annual Donnie MAC Cup on April 11 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Akinsdale and Kinex arenas.
