Throughout the fall and winter we will host drop-in hockey games at Eddie Edgar and Devonaire every Thursday night. The skates will start at 10 during September (at Eddie Edgar) and 9:30 p.m. from Ootober to March (at Devonaire). They will last 90 minutes and cost $15. Many are already in the BenchApp group, but if you're not and interested in joining the skates, download the BenchApp application and join via the following link: https://www.benchapp.com/join/team/747416

In a very close contest, All Black Hockey Sticks hung on to triumph 3-2 over Detroit Hot Rod. ABH got off to a 2-0 lead then DHR answered with 2 goals to tie it.
