亚洲天堂 Lake hockey teams are currently battling for provincial bragging rights in separate events.
The 亚洲天堂 Lake Midget team, which includes players between the ages of 15 and 18, is in Clearwater this week for BC鈥檚 Tier IV championship.
The club won its first game 12-4 against Clearwater on Sunday (March 16), and was scheduled to play two games Monday. Other teams in the tourney hail from Kelowna, Surrey, Ridge Meadows, and Chetwynd.
Team manager Renee Skinner said the youths hope to bring the Midget title back to 亚洲天堂 Lake.
鈥淭eam expectations are to play hard, represent our community, and bring home a gold medal,鈥 she said. 鈥淥urs was the first game, so we aren鈥檛 sure how the others will look.鈥
A few hundred miles south, 亚洲天堂 Lake鈥檚 Peewee Tier IV team is also in the hunt for gold.
The players, aged 11 and 12, are competing in Richmond against clubs from the host city, Elk Valley, Victoria, Vancouver鈥檚 North Shore Winter Club, Prince George, and Revelstoke.
The Peewees dropped their first game 7-3 to Elk Valley, but stayed within one goal of the East Kootenay team until the third period, when Elk Valley scored three times to take a commanding lead.
The Peewees earned the right to represent this region by posting a perfect 8-0 record in regular season play.
