There are only a few weeks until the Bredenbury Tundra Junior C fall training camp begins.
Over the summer, the coaching and management staff have signed their core 14 players, leaving only seven spots to fill at camp and by players being sent down from the PJHL (six skaters & one goalie).
They expect to see between 25-30 players at camp, so the competition for the final remaining spots will be intense.
The first ice time is at 10 a.m. on Sept. 30 at the SGI Canada Community Arena in Bredenbury.
Anyone interested between the ages of 16-21 and are wanting to try out for the Bredenbury Tundra Junior Hockey Club please email the team at: tundrajrhockey@gmail.com or by phone: 306-730-0809.
Registration fee for camp is $60, and the deadline to register is September 28. Fall camp is free for all midget aged skaters.
The Bredenbury Tundra Junior Hockey Club would like to thank all new sponsors for the 2017/2018 QVJHL Season. Because of the sponsors, they are able to make their team affordable for local junior aged hockey players. If a local business, community group or individual would like to become a Tudra Junior Hockey sponsor, they can simply contact the team.
Sponsorship deadline is Sept. 15, 2017. Sponsorship opportunities are available on the Tundra’s Facebook page and at www.tundrajrhockey.com
As of Aug. 29, the team had collected 20 per cent of their fundraising goal, which would allow them to eliminate all registration fees for local players.
