Queens Showcase goes this weekend
THUNDER BAY – The Thunder Bay Queens annual Showcase Weekend gets underway Friday and will through Sunday at Fort William First Nation Arena.
A total of 13 teams will be competing in the three-day event, which will feature three divisions.
The Triad Contracting Queens will go up against the Duluth Icebreakers, Fort Frances Flames and Winnipeg East Saints in the peewee division.
Meanwhile the Manshield Contracting bantam A Queens will take on the Fort Frances Leafs and Thunder Bay Fury in the bantam group.
Rounding out the groupings will be the First Class Gas bantam AA Queens taking on the Winnipeg East Saints, Schreiber North Shore Stars and the Thunder Bay midget Fury.
Both the peewee and bantam AA Queens are fresh off winning All-American Girls tournament titles in Blaine, Minn. Nov. 24.
As there is no AA midget teams attending the showcase this year the Sportop midget AA Queens will take on their Norcan Tours and Travel midget A counterparts in a challenge contest Saturday at 5:30 p.m. over on rink No. 1 at FWFNA.
As has been the case in the past there is no admittance charge to attend any of the Queens Showcase games.
However the Queens’ organization will once again be accepting donations throughout the weekend, which will be presented in their entirety to the Christmas Cheer Fund to help those less fortunate through the holiday season.
