Sister Teams

While Stella has been the top women’s competitive team in Ottawa, she has had a few sister teams.

Those who have had sisters know that you can like them or fight them - but you can’t ignore them.  Sisters can be nosy and irritating.  They seem to know how to pester you ’till you feel surly.  But would our lives be any fun without sisters?  Stella doesn’t think so.
