It’s a big week upcoming for the Shaw Centre.
Salmon Arm is hosting the 2014 Midget Female ‘A’ B.C. Hockey Championships from Sunday, March 16 through Thursday, March 20.
The Salmon Arm Midget Female Armstrong Co-op Rep Team will be representing Salmon Arm, competing with B.C.’s best from Terrace, Cranbrook, Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Kamloops.
“To us, it’s a huge deal,” says organizer Ken Whitehead. “For the community I think it’s huge, bringing 140 families into the community.”
Whitehead is still looking for volunteers. Asked about what skills are needed, he smiles: “Can you breathe and stand upright for a period of two hours?”
Jobs include security, ticket sellers, and he’s hoping to find some experienced scorekeepers and time keepers. If you can spare a couple of hours, call him soon at 250-833-2518.
The official opening ceremonies take place on Sunday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m.
The Salmon Arm girls are scheduled to play right after the opening ceremonies, 8 p.m. Sunday. Then they play Monday at 5 p.m., Tuesday at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Wednesday at 8 p.m. and Thursday at 2 p.m. The championship game goes at 8 p.m. Thursday.
