If you are like me and have never been able to watch Blayre Turnbull or Jill Saulnier play in person, here is your chance! I already have my tickets purchased and am counting down the days. What a happy birthday gift for me! Now if only Natalie Spooner was playing. I guess the impending arrival of Baby Spooner in December is a good enough reason to miss the Dream Tour. I will have to catch her playing another time.
As part of the Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association (PWHPA) Secret Dream Gap Tour, Stellarton's Blayre Turnbull and Halifax's Jill Saulnier are playing in Truro, Nova Scotia this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They have already played in Montreal on October 15 and 16 and will also play in Pittsburgh on November 26 and 27.
Turnbull and Saulnier join their Canadian National Team teammates, including team captain Marie-Philipe Poulin, American National team rivals, including Hilary Knight, and many other talented female players on the ice this weekend. There are four teams: Team Harvey's, Team Sonnet, Team Adidas (Saulnier #11) and Team Scotiabank (Turnbull #40).
