Kootenay Wildcats skipper Mario DiBella has been selected to one of the two assistant coaching positions for the upcoming Female Midget AAA All Star Game at the Coquitlam Sports Centre.
DiBella, who has coached at the Nelson Minor Hockey and Provincial levels as well as the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, joins Jason Garneau of the Prince George Cougars as the two assistant coaches selected from the five-team league.
Mark Elder of the Thompson/Okanagan Rockets and Dean Reed of Fraser Valley Phantom will serve as head coaches.
The game is set for December 3 in Coquitlam. The contest begins at 6:45 p.m..
During the first and second intermission a skills competition will be held for all the participating players. The skill competition will include fastest skater and a breakaway challenge.
The Female Midget AAA League was initiated in the 2007-2008 season in response to the membership’s desire to provide an opportunity for elite female hockey players to come together on zone teams to challenge other elite Female Midget teams.
Players for the All Star contest will be announced this week.
