The previous day the youngest of minor hock- ¢y’s more than 300 enrolees were given a chance to practice and enjoy themselves in a ‘‘Funtime Skills’ event. - The Novices division players took part ina mini house tournament under the Dairyland’ Penalty- Free Challenge banner with game awards being handed out at the end of the event. ‘The Peewees launched their week wilh a Satur- day night game against visiting Hazelton, then hit ‘the ice at 5:30 a.m. Sunday for a skills diill com- petition. | Tomorrow at 9:15 pum. they'll be at the arena again for a team skills dril] competition. Bantam teams saw house league action on Mon- day and Tuesday night and Remax Realty will be facing off against Bradford and Son tomorrow night at 9:15 p.m. for the week’s final Bantam game. Stevenson said minor hockey i is going through a sirong resurgence at the moment, not just here in Terrace but across the northwest. That’s good for the sport, but it also creates problems because demand is beginning to outstrip the available ice time. Minor Hockey Week itsel€ had to make adjust- ments for just that reason, starting on last weekend instead of the coming one because the arena was booked for a ringette tournament. He said the rising enrolment came close to forc- ing Minor Hockey to turn away some kids who wanted to play this season. If the upward trend continued, Stevenson added, that may have to happen next year, All of which underlines the need for a second sheet of ice in the community, he said.
