Trophies Inc, in partnership with the Jr. A organization. The entire organization welcomed the young Novice B players into their dressing room, exchanged high fives, and posed for pictures. Head Coach/GM, Alex Armstrong, spoke to these young players and offered many encouraging words before taking additional time to give a full tour

of the team's facilities. The young players were in the stands for the game and although the final score was not in favour of their team, these kids cheered, danced and congratulated the Bears on their effort. This night wasn't about the final score...it was about the lasting memories for the two teams. It was about bringing together young hockey

players with the players they can look up to. The majority of players on the Jr. A team come from out of town, something seen on teams of this calibre. The players are here to chase their dreams and their families rely on the team to take care of them. We, as a community, need to support all of our hockey players.

Whether it is a group of five year olds learning the game or a group of teenagers playing Jr. A hockey. These hockey players deserve to be supported no matter what level they play...get out to your local arenas and CHEER on your teams.

Santa C laus comes to town on the North Pole Express

Smiths Falls - Staff Last Saturday saw the North Pole Express pulling into the station at the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. Visitors were greeted to many activities and of course enjoyed the trips in the caboose of the brightly lit train. Santa dropped by as well, and it looks like the old badger likes trains too! Santa had a great time as well. Photos by Chris Uhlig.
