HTN: Outdoor Hockey Tourney Set

It's "Game On!" for the Labatt Blue Pond Hockey Tournament February 7th. The city recently recorded thicknesses between ten and 14 inches in its three-area test on the tournament pond. That exceeds the eight-inch minimum the tournament would need to hold games on eight manmade rinks. Monday, the fire department flooded the area with 100-thousand gallons of water and plans to do so again, as needed, monitoring thickness right up to the day of the event. The second-annual event includes 64 teams, with eight tournament winners. including intermediate, novice and Women's divisions.
