This past weekend saw a
pretty good Midget tournament out in Castlegar.
Competing were Fernie,
Nelson,Spokane,Castlegar
and Trail, with the latter
coming away with the
honors.
You could call this a
prelude to the playoffs.
Trail has seven Rossland
players on the team by
virtue of the Rossland
Hockey Association not
having enough players this
year to keep a Midget team
going. These kids came
from what we used to
describe as the "green
machine."
Trail went through the
tournament undefeated.
Their first game against
Nelson ended 9-4. Then
they blew away Spokane
12-2 only to be seen against
a stubborn Fernie team
who would only allow a tie,
3-3. In the Spokane game,
Ken MacArthur tallied five
goals and Greg Schuck
netted the tying goal
against Fernie. In the final
game of this round robin
event, Trail beat Castlegar
10-3 with Chris Minton
netting a hat trick. Trail
now waits for the winners
between Castlegar-Nelson
series to see who is the
W.K. Zone representative
in the B.C. Championship
playoffs which are in
Prince George later in
March.
·Till next week, then!
