If there was any rust to Jaimee Lafraniere’s curling game, she certainly didn’t let it show in the recent Elementary Curling championships. Despite taking this year off curling in order to concentrate on her soccer abilities, the Grade 7 student at R.L. Beattie skipped her team to a 6-5 win over Felix-Ricard in the final game.
“The competition was pretty good – that was a pretty strong team from Felix-Ricard” noted Lafraniere, whose older brother Ryan formed part of the Jamie Morphet junior men’s team that represented Northern Ontario at the nationals one year ago. But for younger sister, soccer is the sport of choice these days.
An accomplished young netminder, Lafraniere has been playing soccer since she was four or five, having joined the Panhellenic Hotshots one year ago. She is currently working out with Regional coach Brian Ashton and a crew of twenty or so local female athletes.
