Playing host to the Lacoka Locos, the Red Deer Chiefs, and Blackfalds Warriors on Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday, the Bantam Thunder had a rocky start to the weekend with a match against the Blackfalds Warriors. The game went to the Warriors, who triumphed 9-3 over the Thunder.
Saturday was also tough for the Novice Thunder, who lost to guests from Red Deer.
Things turned around for Bantam on Sunday, April 19, when they hosted the Red Deer Chiefs. The game went back and forth, each team netting goals and staying within a point of each other. By the time the final buzzer signalled the end of the game, the outcome was a tie: 5-5.
In Stettler's only win of the weekend, the Peewee Thunder eked out a win against the Lacoka Locos with a score of 7-6. Though at one point the Thunder trailed, by the end of the game they'd managed to pull ahead and kept up defensive play to keep the Locos from finding their net.
The Midget Thunder played next, also against Lacoka, but didn't find the same success, losing to the visiting team.
