Some Yellowknifers who are in Japan this week competing at the 2014 World Broomball Championships have some big wins to celebrate when they get home.

Both the mens' and womens' teams from Yellowknife won gold at the four-day tournament.

The NWT Rebels women's team beat the Australia Dingoes Gold 2-1 in the gold-medal round Nov. 8 in Tomakomai, Japan.

And the Yellowknife Ravens men's team, which won all eight of its game at the tournament, beat out the Calgary Cowboys in the gold-medal match up 3-0.

Last October, the NWT Rebels won their first gold medal at the 2013 Pacific Rim International Broomball tournament in Melbourne, Australia.

"We had a really strong core group of girls who have been part of the team for quite some time and I think it really helped us," Tina Locke-Setter, the team's captain, said following their gold-medal win in Australia.

Fifteen players from the girls team made it to Japan this year and 17 for the men's Yellowknife Ravens.
