Main photo: Clearwater Novice hockey players (l-r) #5 Evan Cooke, #11 Sophie Collins and #8 Riley Munson battle for the puck during one of two games against Valemount at the Sportsplex on Saturday. These were the local squad’s first full-ice games and the visiting team won both by wide margins. The Novices recently played two half-ice games in Lillooet and will host Lillooet in January. The last weekend in January they will host their own Novice tournament.
