Hanna hosts provincial hockey

Eight competing teams from Alberta Hockey line up at the opening ceremonies of the Pee Wee 5 Provincials held in Hanna over four days, Mar. 21 – 24.

Teams earned eligibility to enter the tournament by winning their League banner. Pee Wee players are in the 10 to 12 year age range.

The teams were divided into two pools, which was determined by a team’s competitiveness.

Pool ‘A’ featured, Edson Sabres, 3C’s (Coronation, Consort, Castor) Coyotes, Redcliff Grizzlies and Wembley Wildcats, while Pool ‘B’ featured Hanna Colts, Bonnyville Pontiacs, Cochrane Rockies and Barrhead Eagles.

Redcliff Grizzlies took home the gold in the ‘A’ pool while the Cochrane Rockies took home the gold in the ‘B’ pool.
