Over 60 students has signed up to participate in the 2017 Raptor Hockey League. Both male and female players from grades 6, 7, and 8 have been drafted and placed on one of 10 teams participating in the league. The season opener yesterday proved to be a good sign of competition to come as the Slappers narrowly defeated the Italians 4 – 2. While rain is proving to be a challenge, we have yet to see any cancellations. Competition will continue for the next 5 weeks, followed by the playoffs with single-game-knockout action.
