A bantam house league team from 100 Mile House travelled to McBride for a tournament Jan. 18-19.
The team, Save-on-Foods, was up against strong competition and finished fourth behind McBride, Mackenzie and Kamloops.
Public relations manager Denise Waldner says the local skaters played very well, made nice passes and had good game sense and strategy.
“But [we had] few chances against the much stronger, bigger and older children on the other teams. We still managed to score some goals.”
Save-on-Foods lost the four games played.
Against Mackenzie, Lukas Waldner and Reid Davidson scored goals. Luke Jewitt played in goal and earned the team’s most valuable player (MVP) award.
Trevor Moore earned the MVP nod against McBride for his hard work on defence.
In Game 3, against Kamloops, Davidson and Waldner found the back of the net. Waldner received the MVP award.
In the final game, 100 Mile House met Kamloops again the morning of Jan. 19. Alex Glen scored a goal and was named MVP.
