KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Talk about mixed emotions for Emerance Maschmeyer.
A sellout crowd of 5,850 at the Sandman Centre nearly blew the roof off the building with their applause Monday night when it was announced that Maschmeyer was Team Canada’s player of the game as well as the top goaltender for the IIHF women’s hockey world championship tournament.
That episode came moments after Alex Carpenter had beaten Maschmeyer in a wild scramble at 12:30 of overtime to give the Americans a 1-0 victory and their third straight world title. It was their sixth crown in seven tries.
