Minor hockey stats to be posted as season begins
With the help of coaches, parents, and grandparents, local hockey players from three counties in Caribou Publishing newspaper areas like Tofield Mercury will get credit for good games, victories, points and saves each week of the hockey season.
Each week I look up and record scores and scorers of dozens of local hockey teams and players, both male and female. But I need your help. If I don’t have your son or daughter’s team among those recorded, we just don’t know about them. This may mean players who are playing for other teams in larger centres or players located on teams in areas outside this county.
In the Beaver County area, Lamont County area, and Flagstaff County areas, parents have been really cooperative in letting me know of particular websites where local hockey players participate in leagues, which post scores semi-regularly.
Because our print deadline is Monday, I scour these sites each Sunday evening in an attempt to get the latest scores and give scorers some credit for good games they played that particular week.
Believe me, this is no easy task over three different counties in both the Zone 2 and Zone 7 districts. There are dozens of teams in dozens of leagues playing in many different age and skill levels.
Some leagues . . . contd.
