Congratulations to Kyler Kaiser who won Grand Champion Steer for the Big Valley Club and Hannah Elines who was awarded Reserve Grand Champion. Jessie Armstrong and Emily Brown were the showmanship winners for intermediate, while Nicole Zoller and Faith Shuckburgh were junior winners. Intermediate grooming went to Emily Brown and Jenny Munholland and juniors went to Faith Shuckburgh and Owen Wilkie.

Minor hockey pre-registration for the 2014/15 season will take place on Tuesday, Jun. 3 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Big Valley Arena for children ages 4 to18 (Mites to Midget age) in Big Valley and area. All new and returning players should pre-register now (even if you played for another team last year) to allow us to determine numbers for teams and to make coaching decisions. If there are not going to be enough players for a team, this will allow families to make alternate arrangements for the fall.
If you have any questions or are unsure if your family lives within our minor hockey boundaries, please contact Registrar Andrea Webster at (403) 876-2064.
