Mallard's Team of the Week — NMH Novice Team #1
By The Nelson Daily Sports
The Nelson Association is pulling out all the stops to celebrate Minor Hockey Week with a host of events highlighted by the annual Novice Tournament.
Minor Hockey Week has been celebrated in Canada since 1958 when the idea was adopted from the first event the previous year in Trail.
That’s when Charlie McLean organized the first Minor Hockey Week at the Cominco Arena in Trail, promoting the event with the slogan — Don’t Send your boy to play hockey, TAKE him!
