Scotiabank kicks off Nelson Bantam Provincial Tournament Fundraiser
By The Nelson Daily Sports
Nelson’s Scotiabank branch injected some major financial support for the upcoming BC Bantam Tier Three Hockey Championships with a cheque for $5,000 to help offset expenses.
The tournament, which runs from March 18th – 22nd, includes nine teams, from across BC.
A tournament of this magnitude requires many volunteers and financial assistance from businesses throughout the community and around the province.
Businesses looking to support the event have a variety of sponsorship opportunities. They can contact Fundraising Co-Ordinators Melissa Surina at 250-353-1499, bsurina@kaslo.org or Greg Proctor at 250-354-9432, gproctor57@hotmail.com.
Organizers are also looking for volunteers to assist with individual team hosting, score clock and penalty box operation, hospitality room operation, baked good provision and more.
As a tune up for March, Nelson Minor Hockey is hosting a six-team Bantam Rep Tier Three tournament, beginning Friday at the NDCC Arena.
The showdown will feature the Nelson Leafs, Couer D’Alene Thunder, Springbank Rockies, Kelowna Rockets, Salmon Arm Silvertips and the West Kelowna Warriors.
