CHANGE OF LOCATION FOR YEAR END PARTY

We have been notified that on March 9 they will be doing construction on the main hall where we usually hold our year end party.  We are going to move the party this year to the Rundle Family Centre Pavillion.  It is located at the opposite end of the parking lot from the A.C.T. Centre (west), towards the ice skating area.  The building has a different layout than we are used to but has all amenities of A.C.T. Centre.  It also includes the picnic site outside of the centre so if anyone wants to have a fire please feel free to use it.

Congratulations to Edmonton Savages for winning the 2018 Men's National Championship.

They also won in 2017 making it back to back National Championships.  Also Congratulations to Edmonton Top Whale who also qualified for this years Nationals.  Edmonton Top Whale, backstopped by ex-Just For Fun goalie Carson Schreiber, had a good showing though lost a close game in the quarter finals and failed to advance to the medal round.  Great to see Edmonton Ball Hockey doing so great on the National stage.
