ST. MARY’S ACADEMY FLAMES St. Mary’s Academy: ‘Get Out Your Hockey Sticks’ The St. Mary’s Academy Flames Prep Hockey Program is only six years old, but according to St. Mary’s President Connie Yunyk, hockey on the campus of Winnipeg’s highly-regarded Catholic girls school, goes back to at least 1912. It’s a different game today, however. The best players at St. Mary’s today just completed a 52-game schedule and all four graduating seniors have university hockey scholarships this fall. For coach Larry Bumstead, the Flames’ program just gets better every year.
