Copper Kings IP1’s represent

by Karina Hunter

The Copper Kings played hard, most needing to be convinced to come off the ice when needing to break.

Manitouwadge was well represented January 23^rd as the Copper Kings IP1 team traveled to Terrace Bay to participate in a Minor Hockey Jamboree. Teams from Manitouwadge, Marathon, Terrace Bay, and Schreiber gathered to develop their skills while learning about fair play, sportsmanship and teamwork. Coaches Karly and Aaron Baker were very proud of the team; Tiffany Bellerose, Evan Glaister, Eric Glaister, Sawyer Hatton, Evn Labbée, Ciara Robinson, Keegan Schmidt, Mason Plourde, and Emeraude Charron took to the ice during two games, facing off against Terrace Bay in the morning and then Marathon’s Green Team in the afternoon. The young stars, 4 to 6 years of age, skated hard showing off their puck handling and skating skills throughout their two 30 minute games.

This was the team’s 2^nd tournament of the year, having participated in a Jamboree in Marathon earlier in the season. Having been given loot bags upon their arrival at the Terrace Bay Community Centre Arena, the players were also presented with medals at the end of their 2^ndgame.

: Manitouwadge Copper Kings IP1

: Face-Off!

: Keep in mind that while these players are physically significantly smaller than their NHL heros, the arenas they play in are not proportionally smaller making the amount of skating they do in a game quite impressive.

: I never get used to how incredible these kids are, their skills really amaze me.

: Emeraude, willing to be pretty much anywhere on the ice if Mr.Baker is by her side.

: The Copper Kings played hard, most needing to be convinced to come off the ice when needing to break.
