The Richmond Ravens know how to have fun and are throwing a party for their fellow players on Sunday at the Richmond Ice Centre (Coliseum).
Their second annual Tyke Jamboree will see approximately 80 players from female hockey associations around Metro Vancouver come together to compete in a fun tournament to help raise the profile of girls hockey.
"We want to raise awareness of what age we start our players, how much development opportunity they get and create an interest in female hockey in all communities," says Patti Martin, President, Richmond Ravens.
The Jamboree will divide the players onto mixed teams, giving the young players a chance to meet future opponents in a friendly, get-to-know-you style atmosphere.
Reps from B.C. Hockey and the female committee director for the PCAHA will be in attendance to hand out medals and goodie bags, and help bring attention to what the grass roots level of girls hockey is doing.
The event runs from 1: 30pm to 4: 30 p.m. at the Coliseum rink.
