Original story
A weekend of bantam hockey action kicked off March 3 at the Shaw Centre as the Salmon Arm Greyhounds faced off against the Nelson Leafs in one of the first matches of the Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association (SAMHA) Bantam Rec tournament.
The matchup saw Salmon Arm come out victorious in a landslide 6-0 victory over the Leafs, moving on to face Kamloops in the next round of the tournament. Salmon Arm’s goalie Garrett Kelley was named MVP after the game, skating off the ice with a plaque to bring home and show off his achievements.
18 games will be played over the course of the weekend to decide the tournament victor, with both rinks at the Shaw Centre hosting minor hockey action throughout the day on March 3 & 4.
A schedule of games can be found on the SAMHA website, or on the Shaw Centre facility schedules webpage.
