In Ottawa two weekends ago, the Northern Chill 18U Subzero volleyball team played in a tournament with 24 teams. They were divided into four pools, each with six teams. The Sudbury team had mixed results in their five preliminary games.

Despite a shaky start, the Chill bounced back after losing the first set to Synergy from Scarborough, winning the second set. They continued this up-and-down pattern with 1-1 results against Storm Typhoon from Aurora and South County Bandits National from Windsor.

Their best performance came against Ottawa Fusion, winning both sets. However, they closed out the pool play with a loss to Maverick Bandits from the nation’s capital. Overall, they finished with a 5-5 record, securing fourth place in their pool and entering the Select B playoff bracket.

In the playoffs, they faced familiar rivals, the Barrie Elites, and won a close match. In the final four battle, they faced the K-W Predators and lost, settling for a bronze medal game.
