Hockey leads the way

The spirited match saw end-to-end action in the Cranbrook Rec Plex. It was played before a crowd of enthusiast spectators and the watchful eye of hundreds of hockey scouts and coaches from throughout western Canada.

The first hockey game ended in 7-0 win by the Fraser Valley team.

Hockey is one of 20 sports in the Kimberley-Cranbrook BC Winter Games. The round-robin format will lead up to Sunday's medal presentations.
