Dean
Have you read the editorial in this weeks Herald?
Never thought I would see the day that they would admit minor hockey numbers are on the decline.
In addition looks like the 800 people will not be coming to town for the pee wee provincials this spring.
The town will be losing that big donation towards the netting.

Did you really think they were going to get that tournament? and bring in hundreds of people.
Do you remember Dean when they told council that there was going to be 200 families a year moving to the Pass.
I think you have said it yourself, if you say things enough times people actually start to believe them.
