A big week’s coming up for hockey in Salmon Arm.
Salmon Arm Minor Hockey is hosting the Midget Female Provincials set for March 19 to 23 at Shaw Centre.
Seven teams, including a home team, will be taking part, likely meaning an influx of 300 people or more into town.
The event will be a five-day round-robin affair, with opening ceremonies taking place at 7:30 p.m. Monday. Closing ceremonies will follow the championship game beginning at 8 p.m. Friday.
If you’d like to watch your Salmon Arm team, they’ll take on Surrey at 8 p.m. Monday, Vancouver Island at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Kelowna at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Richmond at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Windermere at 8 p.m. Thursday and Whitehorse at 2 p.m. Friday. All games on Spectator sheet.
Five Salmon Arm girls play on the team: Sarah Botter, Jasmine El Gazzar, Hailey Haskell, Taylor Lund and Maddison Turner, with coach Shawn Lund and assistant coach Troy Haskell, who are also from Salmon Arm.
