Vote For Rich Valley - Kraft Hockeyville 2019

Rich Valley has made the Top 4 for Kraft Hockeyville 2019 and now they need your vote to bring the title back to Alberta!

Voting runs from March 29 (10:00 AM MDT) to March 30 (6:30 PM MDT) so cast your vote as many times as you can (voting is unlimited!)

VOTE HERE >

As Rich Valley puts it, the hockey arena is the life-blood of their community. In the fall of 2018, they had a catastrophic failure in their ice chiller that ended the season before it even started. There were no more weekly free-skate nights and no minor hockey associations in the area could practice or play. It meant either driving 30km or more to join other communities for the 2018-2019 season, or simply not playing at all.

Your votes mean they could win the grand prize - the opportunity to host an NHL® Pre-Season game in their community and $250,000 in arena upgrades, bringing hockey back to Rich Valley.

Team Alberta captures gold at Canada Winter Games

RED DEER - Team Alberta U18 Female denied the odds and rode a wave of confidence to win gold on home soil in Women’s Hockey at the 2019 Canada Winter Games Saturday afternoon.

Alberta drew undefeated Quebec in the final, and defeated them 2-1 in front of a capacity crowd at the Downtown Arena.

Kassy Betinol had the crowd on its feet just over 10 minutes into the game on the powerplay, her third goal of the tournament.

Jaden Bogden made it 2-0 five minutes into the second, but Quebec responded just two minutes later to draw within one.

Alberta goaltender Bella McKee shut the door from there, and made 31 saves to lead her team to gold.

The gold medal was Alberta’s 100th medal of the 2019 Canada Winter Games, and second in hockey, with the Men’s team winning bronze in week one.
