It's the best result ever at a national event for a junior player, male or female, from the NWT. He said the outcome was better than anticipated.

"It's a lot better than last year, that's for sure," he said. Hinchey went into the event seeded seventh in his division. he made his way through the bracket with no difficulty, eventually getting to the semifinals, uncharted waters for many NWT players in the past.
