Minor Hockey Moments

Game on, despite snowstorm

It's the biggest snowstorm in years in Southwestern Ontario and yet one of the provinces' biggest girls' hockey tournaments carries on at the Western Fair Sports Centre.
By contrast, all minor hockey games up the 401 in Toronto are cancelled.
The push to play through winter storms is why careful thinking hockey parents invest in winter tires and, often, AWD SUVs. Check out the parking lot on a tournament weekend around here and you'll see SUVs outnumbering soccer mom mini-vans by a wide margin.
Always thought winter tournaments should be sponsored by Michelin, Toyo or Goodyear to push their much-needed snow and ice radials.
