19 Wing Comox Silver Totems in Gold River this Weekend

The Greyhawks hockey tournament has been cancelled for this weekend, however the 19 Wing Comox Silver Totems team will still be visiting.

They will be in Gold River on Friday, November 11th to attend our Remembrance Day Ceremonies and also to play some great hockey.

The 19 Wing troop of 16 will be participating in the Remembrance Day Parade beginning at approximately 10:45am and will march to the Gold River Legion in full uniform. The Legion will celebrate and remember this day with camaraderie throughout the afternoon.

The puck drops at 4:00pm sharp Friday afternoon when the 19 Wing Silver Totems take on our own Gold River Greyhawks at the Gold River Arena.

On Saturday, November 12th, the Silver Totems will be holding an informal hockey school for our Mites, Novice, Atom and PeeWee Divisions beginning at 10:30am. All Minor Hockey players are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The second men’s game of the weekend will follow in the arena at 2:00pm.

Please come down to the Arena for a great weekend of hockey! (And of course, a Moe burger or two! :) )
