On Saturday, January 2, the community of Ste. Agathe held its first annual Outdoor
Winter Classic for the newly formed recreational Ste. Agathe Hockey League.
Team Baudry Construction took on Hemp Oil Canada, and Ste. Agathe Service Centre played against Lucky Luc’s.
The games were played on the new outdoor rink in Ste. Agathe, which was built by local volunteers.
Even “Boomer,” one half of the Buzz-and-Boomer mascot team from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, joined us and took part in a special kids hockey game.
The day included horse-drawn wagon rides and hot chocolate, s’mores, and hot dogs, courtesy of the Caisse Populaire, over a roaring fire.
Fantastic weather certainly helped with the success of the event. There were about 60 hockey players and countless families on hand to cheer on the players, enjoy their neighbours’ company, and take part in the festivities.
