High Country Rockies Win Midget Tier 1 Championship


(Page 7)

What an unbelievable game hockey is.

The High Country Rockies Midget Tier 1 team have shown us what dedication and team sportsmanship is all about.

Right from the start of the season, families and fans have watched as this group of young men has grown together into this fast-paced Team. I say team with a capital 'T' because that is exactly what they have become. They play good, fast, skillful hockey.

They finished regular league play in first place with 30.5 points plus 3.5 points for sportsmanship for a total of 34 points after playing sixteen games and winning thirteen of them. They lost two, early on in the season and tied one.

Entering the seven series play-offs, with several members on the injury list, they played with determination.  In a challenging three game series they beat Hanna 4 to 3 in overtime at home, lost 4 to 2 in Hanna and then came out fighting for the banner in the final home game.

Synonymous with this area, Cow Bells and Bull Horns raised the roof at Oilfields Regional Arena as the home team shot to victory with a resounding 7 to 4 win.

Congratulations to Everyone Involved!
