With the hockey season fast approaching, the
arena has been temporarily closed off for this
winter to provide an ice surface 74 feet wide
by 130 feet long. The electrical department is
working to install the lights, and the boards
will probably be ready by the time this is ,
published. With the boards in place, a piste
sheet will be laid under the ice surface and
flooding will commence as soon as the weather
turns cold enough. Temporary dressing rooms,
which will be heated, have been built in the
old rink.

A hearty thank you to all those who helped
bring the arena to the point where it can be
used this year!

An organizational meeting of the hockey club
was held on Friday, November 17th. Twenty-
one hockey players attended and others who
were unable to be present have expressed

their interest. Plans are under way to raise
funds for hockey equipment and it is expected
that at least two teams will take to the ice,
with Tom Knowles as coach, as soon as it is
ready. Several of the hockey players have
already been out skating on nearby lakes and
with all this enthusiasm we are looking forward
to a very successful season.

A letter will be sent to parents of all children
of eligible age, outlining plans for a Little
League. Dan Legros and Len Skakun have
both volunteered to coach the kids.
