Labor Day Hockey Tourney



This season we were able to get our hockey fix early, with the Soo Eagles hosting a Labor Day Tournament. The Eagles welcomed the Soo Thunderbirds, Blind River Beavers, and the Sudbury Cubs from their league, the NOJHL. They also had the Traverse City North Stars from the NAHL and the Wellington Dukes from the OJHL. The North Stars were the best team in the tournament, but that's probably because they have former Lakers guiding them (Anthony Palumbo GM, Mike Matteucci associate head coach). Not a bad deal, though, as $20 each got us into all the games over the weekend. We were able to see every team play at least once, and I was even able to enjoy a beer or two. Good to see hockey again, and can't wait for the Lakers to start in October.
