Elk River Lodge hosts Saskatchewan U11 hockey teams for ‘The Battle on the Pond’
This pond hockey tournament was the first of its kind — the first to be sanctioned by the Saskatchewan Minor Hockey Association. In the end, organizers wanted an event like this to be one that the kids would look back on fondly.
“Your blades don’t get all snowy, which is a little different, so you don’t throw snow at each other in the dressing room,” said Ben Slugotski of the Saskatoon Flyers. Tayla Olson of the Humboldt Broncos added, “I think we have a chance at winning it and yeah I think we will remember it when we are older.”The parents and coaches felt this tournament will be one the kids will always remember.
“A once-in-a-lifetime experience and they were lucky enough to get in and they will be happy about this for the rest of their lives,” said Aaron Friedman of the Battleford Barons. “We were just praying that we got in, and once we heard our kids were just ecstatic,” added Chad Knaus, coach of the Humboldt Broncos U11 team for the tournament.
