“It was a great season for all the kids,” said Chris Prossor, WVMHA co-president. “Our numbers continued to increase slightly and we had great success on the ice as well.”

 

Mr. Prossor believes that this year’s season proved to be one of the best for athletes in the valley at all levels.

 

“Our Midgets and Bantams won the East Kootenay League Championship and the Midgets finished second in Provincial Championships,” Mr. Prossor said. “Overall, the season and the awards night was well received. The Atoms parents did a great job coordinating the evening and ensuring everyone had something to look forward too.  Huge thanks to those parents for organizing the evening. Not only that, but a huge thanks to all the volunteer coaches, managers, game officials, kids and their parents. Without them there would be no minor hockey.”
