This weekend Boundary Minor Hockey (BMHA) and Grand Forks Minor Hockey will once again host the West Kootenay Minor Hockey Association Atoms House Playoff Tournament.
Rob Payne, president of the BMHA, explained that the teams have been divided into A and B pools, with the Boundary Predators in B pool and the Grand Forks Atom team in A pool.
Finals for the B pool will be in Midway, and in Grand Forks for the A pool. “So if the home teams make it, their local fans will be able to easily get out to cheer them on,” said Payne.
The first game of the tournament for the Midway Arena is set to go on Friday night at 5 p.m. and games will be starting early in Midway on both Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Payne said the majority of Boundary teams’ games will be in Midway.
Atoms are 9- and 10-year-old players. There will be lots of playoff action the following weekend for the other age groups with the Pee Wee playoffs in Kalso and the Midgets hitting the ice in Trail.
The Boundary Minor Hockey AGM and awards banquet has been scheduled for Thursday, April 17.
