And remember, hockey isn't the only ice sport. As a member of the board of Kitchener Ringette, we've been slowly growing over the years, with both girls and boys!
As well, the most sought after tournaments are the ones with multiplexes, something cities here don't yet have... it's great to have all your games at one location! All those spin-off restaurant and hotel dollars are good for the local economy. We have tried to bring provincial events here, but are limited on our available ice... I think this is a great thing!
