There will be plenty of hockey action right here at home this holiday week, as the annual Herb House Memorial Hockey tournament hits the New West ice.
The tourney, which celebrates the memory of House, who founded New West minor hockey in 1937, features five peewee A teams, and a midget tourney of 10 C division teams.
After a year’s absence, the long-running tourney is featuring a rep AA division again, with peewee in the spotlight.
New West, Richmond, Langley, Surrey and Seattle will compete for the division title, beginning Friday, 8 a.m., when New West skates against Richmond at Queen’s Park.
The midget C division side includes two teams each from New West, Surrey and Semiahmoo, and squads from Burnaby, Cloverdale, Coquitlam and PoCo. The action starts Friday, 7 a.m. when New West C1 plays Surrey C1 at Moody Park.
Round robin action continues through to Sunday. The semifinals are slated for both rinks at 8 a.m. (peewee) and 10 a.m. (midget) on Monday, with the championship finals running 4 p.m. (peewee) and 6 p.m. (midget) at Queen’s Park Arena.
