Teams donned retro NHL jerseys for the annual Tommy Gun’s Outdoor Winter Classic at the Bower-Kin Community Outdoor Rink this weekend.
The outdoor Midget B tournament began with the purpose of giving hockey players a chance to finish their minor hockey careers on a fun note.
“These kids are playing at Midget B level and typically don’t get all the perks or accolades that Midget AAs or AAAs get,” said organizer Al Sim on the tournament website.
“This tournament concept gave me an opportunity to create a cool environment and give these kids something that they’ll talk about for the rest of their lives.”
Byron has been the sports reporter at the advocate since December of 2016. He likes to spend his time in cold hockey arenas accompanied by luke warm, watered down coffee.
