“They want to be a team that makes it to the Esso Cup because they deserve to be there,” she said.

Quesnell, who is on the Esso Cup organizing committee, said work is also ramping up to get ready for the national female midget AAA tournament the city will be hosting in April. Quesnell added there is lots of work being done behind the scenes to prepare for the event.

“We’re down to the crunch line now,” she said.

With preparations for the tournament ramping up, Quesnell said she expects the event to be big for not just the team, but for the entire city.

Looking back on her induction into the women’s hall of fame, Quesnell said it was a special evening as there were many people on hand who mean a lot to her.

“It was truly amazing,” she said.
