The Calgary Inferno were in the hockey city of Tomakomai, Japan over the weekend to play two games against the Japanese Women’s National Team who are beginning preparation to qualify for the upcoming Olympics.
The teams began the exhibition Saturday by exchanging gifts and signing jerseys, and then it was on to the hockey. Japan got on the board first on the power play late in the opening period and the 1st period would end 1-0 for Japan. Japan added another goal at the 14:38 mark of the 2nd period to go up 2-0. The Inferno finally got on the board 3:34 into the 3rd period with Louise Warren taking a pass from Bailey Bram and scoring from her knees.
