P
articipants enjoyed
fabulous weather dur-
ing the sixth annual Skate
the Lake in Minnedosa last
weekend (February 18th
and 19th). Te six sheets
of ice were kept busy both
days with 13 mens teams
and two ladies teams,
as well as several youth
teams engaging one an-
other in spirited four-on-
four pond hockey. A can-
teen and beer gardens for
the adults were also avail-
able and the entire lake
area was buzzing with ac-
tivity throughout the two-
day event.
Te f rst year for many
young hockey players,
Skate the Lake impressed
Grade 8 student Kath-
erine Heapy, who came
from Oak River to play on
a team with her friends.
Its a fun time, she said.
Teammate Levi Grego-
rash of Minnedosa has
participated for the last
three years. Its a fun way
to spend the long week-
end with your friends, he
agreed.
On Sunday, awards
were given out to tourna-
ment winners. First place
in the Atom Division was
Te Canucks. Team mem-
bers were: Bradley Letain,
Kayden Sutherland, Zoey
Heino, and Aleah Morrice.
Te Jets (Nathan Dornn,
Ben Pearson, Braeden
Good, Brayden Hatch,
and Nolan Bailey) won
the Peewee Division, and
Bilco (Tanner Bilcowski,
Colby Ryznar, Tyson Nich-
ols, Nathan Stephenson,
Mallory Workman, and
Clay Bergeson) won the
Bantam Division. Winner
of the Mens Division was
Burgess Quality Dudes
(Glen Burgess, Brad
Lewis, Tyler Jacobson,
Ryan McLean, and Ste-
fan Brock), and Te Herd
(Jami Boyd, Amy Doerk-
sen, Deena Caplette, and
Alana Warnick) won the
Ladies Division.
Beginning in 2007 as a
way to raise funds for the
Minnedosa Child Care Co-
operative, Skate the Lake
has, to date, succeeded in
raising $23,500 towards
the Child Care Co-op and
the Minnedosa Regional
Events Centre (MREC).
Although a fnal tally was
not available at press time,
the proceeds of this years
event will also go towards
MREC.
Weather great for Skate the Lake

As the youngest players participating in Skate the Lake demonstrated,
its not about whether you win or lose, its having fun while playing the game.
