By Stewart Burnett Rankin Inlet Local Journalism Initiative

One of the biggest rivalries in hockey is always the Toronto Maple Leafs versus the Montreal Canadiens. Rankin Inlet has its own version of the rivalry and it was rekindled earlier this month.

Torontoโ€™s old-timers edged out Montrealโ€™s squad, 7-6, in the 10th Annual Kevin Fredlund Memorial game, which also featured contests for best-dressed fan, cash grab and signed hockey gear, plus an intermission dance performance.

The event honours a former player in Rankin Inlet and die-hard hockey fan and is intended as a fun and inclusive celebration of the rivalry.

The dark days of winter heading into the Christmas break were made a lot brighter, and busier, thanks to the bustling Rankin Inlet hockey scene.

The Agnico Eagle Arena was packed most weekends as tournaments raged on, culminating in the 2022 Polar Bear Plate and the fun 10th Annual Kevin Fredlund Memorial.

In a community with nowhere to go at night but convenience stores, that kind of entertainment and gathering place is much needed.

Jordin Tootoo is on the welcome sign and people call Rankin โ€˜Hockeytown,โ€™ but

it takes a while to sink in just how central hockey is to the community.

Itโ€™s not only one of the few entertainment options โ€“ and one of the few evening outlets that doesnโ€™t involve alcohol โ€“but clearly plays a large role in youth and professional development.

Being part of hockey as a young person in Rankin Inlet means you learn more than onice skills, but how to show up on time, take direction, work with others, fundraise, lead and

commit to a job. It also comes with frequent travel opportunities for out-of-town tournaments like the upcoming Arctic Winter Games Jan. 28 โ€“ Feb. 4, 2023 in Alberta.

Speaking of the AWGs, Kivalliq News will be there, and weโ€™re pumped to showcase our Kivalliq and Nunavut athletes doing what they do best on the international stage. Garren Voisey of Team Nunavut was positively reminding me of Cale Makar during the Polar Bear Plate, and I canโ€™t wait to see

him and his teammates under even brighter lights.

Following that, two more huge hockey tournaments are coming up early in the new year, with the 2023 Polar Bear Plate and Terence Tootoo Memorial currently scheduled on back-to-back weekends in March.

The organizers and coordinators behind the scenes who make hockey and these tournaments come together deserve endless gratitude. They are providing more than a service to the community, but for many, a purpose and meaning in life.

Hereโ€™s to a new year of a whole lot of hockey.

Iqaluit captain Andrew Pearce was pumped after his team narrowly edged out the Team Nunavut Arctic Winter Games squad to win the 2022 Polar Bear Plate in Rankin Inlet Dec. 18.

โ€œIโ€™m feeling great,โ€ said Pearce, adding it would be his last year playing and he was

considering moving into coaching. โ€œFeels good to win the plate one more time. Itโ€™s always great to have the boys here. We love to play together. Weโ€™ve played together since we were kids. Some of these guys are going to continue on with this. Now weโ€™re going to continue to win the plate.โ€

An early misplay behind the Nunavut net led to Iqaluit taking the 1-0 lead, and they never looked back despite some scary moments, including two Nunavut goals that were both called back.

The Rankin Canucks, a hometown favourite, defeated Coral Harbour to take home the bronze medal in the tournament, while teams from Baker Lake, Arviat, Naujaat and another from Rankin Inlet competed as well.

Nunavut players celebrate during the gold medal finals, but their goal was called back due to high sticking. Stewart Burnett/NNSL photo

David Ningeonan had a front-row perspective of the games as he broadcast Inuktitut play-by-play on the radio and livestream.

โ€œOver the years, itโ€™s gotten bigger and bigger,โ€ he said about the annual event, adding that more players try out for spots than thereโ€™s room to fit everyone.

โ€œThey get pumped and really excited to play for the Polar Bear Plate.โ€

David Clark coached Team Nunavut, who lost in the finals, but expressed his gratitude to the fans and supporters during closing comments. He thanked the sponsors, including Calm Air, EPLS and the hamlet, plus the Kivalliq Canucks for their $20,000 donation making all tickets free for the weekend of games.

โ€œRankin is a true hockey town because we do it together!โ€ he said to a large cheer.

โ€œI just want to say from the last couple years with Covid, itโ€™s been hard, and to see everybody here having fun, enjoying the game, itโ€™s the best. And Rankin has the best hockey fans.โ€

The next Polar Bear Plate is scheduled for

2023, one week before the Terence Tootoo Memorial.
