Girls hockey teams across the Great Lakes competed in the annual games in memory of Katie Robinson this Saturday in Sault Ste. Marie.

The second annual Katie Robinson Memorial Showcase wrapped up in Sault Ste Marie.

Over a dozen of young girls hockey teams from across the Great Lakes region competed in the three-day event.

The main event was Saturday night when the LSSU women's hockey team faced off with the Minnesota Gophers. The Lady's Lakers lost 5-3.

Robinson was killed in July of 2021 when she was rear-ended while parked on the side of Ashmun Street in the Soo. She was 20 years old.

Robinson was about to join the Lady Lakers team before she died.

Meghan Gerrie, Laker captain, has known Katie since they were little. 

"She was always a fun and happy person to be around. She loved people. She was so good to everyone she met. She was always welcoming to everyone. I think it's really awesome, and I think she would love it, and she's probably looking down that all these girls get this experience," Gerrie said before the game.

Admission to the game was by donation to the Diane Peppler Resource Center, an organization that Robinson was very fond of.
