Spring hockey tournament coming to Memorial Arena

PENTICTON – Spring is in the air, but some kids aren't putting away the skates just yet.

The Penticton Memorial Arena will play host to the Okanagan Nighthawks Ice Breaker Tournament from March 27 – 29.

The spring tournament, won last year by the Okanagan Nighthawks, is geared to players born in 2007.

Seven teams from Calgary, Kamloops, Kelowna, (2) West Kelowna, Salmon Arm/Vernon and Penticton are involved in this year’s tournament.

The Penticton team is made up of players from both Penticton and the South Okanagan.

Last year’s winners were the Okanagan Nighthawks, who hope for a repeat this year.

For more information, contact the Okanagan Nighthawks website.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
