Road Hockey Tournament a breakaway success

Saturday's first annual Road Hockey Tournament proved to be a very popular event, with dozens of kids taking part.  Held in the parking lot between Sobey's and the Pincher Creek Memorial Arena, three separate rinks were set up for the kids to play on.  Inside the arena, bouncy tents offered a cool getaway from the sweltering heat, as temperatures hovered near 30 degrees. Cotton candy, hamburgers, drinks, dj music,  and more were available to the crowd gathered to watch or join in.

Some kids who had never played hockey before discovered they really enjoyed it, discovering a previously unknown passion for the sport.  Kids who were already keen hockey players got to enjoy playing it in unusually warm circumstances.

Organizers of this event were quite pleased at the turnout, and are to be congratulated for instigating such a fine idea.
