Mallard's Team of the Week — Kaslo Ladies Hockey Team
The Nelson Daily, in conjuction with Mallard’s Source for sports in Nelson, dipped into the archives to unveil the most recent Team of the Week recipient.
The reason?
Hockey is back in prime time on the local scene as Kootenay International Junior Hockey League teams have already commenced preseason action — the Nelson Leafs dropping the puck Thursday.
The Vancouver Canucks kick off the run to Lord Stanley September 18 at CN Centre in Prince George.
The Kootenay Wild of BC Hockey Female Midget AAA and Kootenay Ice of the Major Midget League are keen to start training camps.
And Minor Hockey, including Associations in North Kootenay and Nelson, are days from starting the Rep Tryouts for the upcoming season.
So to salute the start of Canada’s grand game, Mallard’s Source for sports honours the 1924 Kaslo Ladies Hockey Team — all six of them as the pond season gets ready to drop the puck on another season.
Let the games begin!
