Sign Up For Ball Hockey Tonight

The ice might be going -- but the hockey stays.

Tonight you can sign your kid up for Ball Hockey, a 6 week program for kids ages 6 through to 17.

Organizer Blair Furlotte tells Tide News the start date will be April 8th. He says Tuesday evening from 6-7pm will be for ages 6-9, and Thursday evenings from 6-7pm will be for ages 10-17.

Kids will need to have a full face mask helmet, shin pads -- soccer pads will do, and hockey gloves.

Furlotte tells us they had 80 kids participate last year and they are hoping for a bigger turn-out this year and expanding the program.

Registration is $30 and will be held upstairs at the Border Arena in St. Stephen tonight from 6-8.

A Men's Ball Hockey tema will also be meeting on Tuesday night from 7:30-9:30pm. Cost is $10 a head per night and the men will need to wear a helmet.

Furlotte says they are also looking for a few volunteers and any donations would be appreciated to get goalie equipment for the kids.

If you would like to donate, call Blair Furlotte at 921-0038.
