SA, the ice hockey team in Akureyri, north Iceland, became double Icelandic champions in ice hockey yesterday when the women’s team earned the title with a 4-0 victory over Björninn from Reykjavík. Last month the SA men’s team became the Icelandic champions.
The Akureyri girls celebrate a hard-earned victory.
Yesterday’s game, and the final in a series of three, was played in Egilshöll in Reykjavík. SA lost the first game against Björninn in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw but won the second game 5-1 in their home rink in Akureyri, Morgunbladid reports.
