In celebration of the upcoming World Girls' Hockey Weekend, we take a look at eight-year-old Valentina Mastro who despite her age or size, still gets it done on the ice.

Mastro, a fourth-grade student at Our Lady of Good Counsel, scored her first goal of the season for the Bayonne Rangers in her second game as a Squirt, playing against boys.

"I was a little nervous for her because she's the youngest on the team and also the smallest, but we're very proud of her," said Valentina's mother, Eva Mastro.

Mastro is one of three girls on the team, including her two friends from OLGC in Audrey Crowdell and Alannah Galligan.

The youngster couldn't believe she scored as she raced back to the bench screaming 'I scored!, I scored!, I scored!'.

"I was just so excited," she said. "This was my first goal as a Squirt."

Mastro started ice-skating when she was 5-years-old and was introduced to hockey through the Bayonne Hockey Association's Learn-To-Play-Hockey Program. She is in her third year of playing travel hockey, and her brother Billy, who is 7, also plays hockey for the Bayonne Ranger Mites.

Mastro's goal even caught the eyes of Rebecca Morse, a forward/defenseman for the Metropolitan Riveters of the National Women's Hockey League.

"That's a goal scorer's goal!," said Morse. "It was a good job of getting behind the defenseman, establishing good body position and pouncing on the rebound."
