FEB 2009: BRANCH 517 SUPPORTS OVDGHA HOCKEY TOURNAMENT
Glenn Mohns, President of Petawawa Legion Branch 517 is seen presenting a donation of $200 from the Branch to Miranda Doering, Shannon McAndrews and Mary Lou Harrington of the Ottawa Valley District Girls Hockey Association, in support of their upcoming Hockey Tournament at the Silver Dart Arena from February 6 to 8, 2009. This Tournament, marking ten years of girls' hockey in the Ottawa Valley, will be dedicated to the theme of “Supporting our Troops”, and Mary Lou, the Tournament Director, invites everyone to attend the opening ceremony on Friday, February 6th, at the Silver Dart Arena. Lt. Col. Bill Moore will be dropping the puck at 6:00 p.m. and Legion representatives will join other local dignitaries as guests of honour at the ceremony.
The Association's goal is to promote the sport of hockey to women of all ages, and at present provides support for approximately 250 female hockey players between the ages of 8 and 17 throughout the Ottawa Valley. These young ladies will be making up 20 of the 36 teams expected to take part in the Tournament, so Petawawa will have the pleasure of playing host to over 500 fit and healthy teenaged girls during that weekend. Everyone is invited to come out and cheer these players on and to help make this, their Tenth Anniversary Year, a resounding success!
