Drylands Arena in Ashcroft wrapped up another successful season by hosting a Bantam tournament featuring two teams from 100 Mile House and teams from Ashcroft, Chase, Lillooet, and Merritt.

The Warriors from Ashcroft opened the tournament with a 10-1 win over Merritt, then suffered a narrow 6-5 loss to 100 Mile House Team #2. In their third game they rallied to tie the score against Lillooet 2-2 at the end of the first period, but Lillooet went on to score six unanswered goals for an 8-2 win.

It was a weekend of great hockey and excellent crowds, who were on hand to cheer on all the teams.
