Dear Editor:

On behalf of the South Okanagan Minor Hockey Associations three Rep teams who are playing in the BC Hockey Provincials, we wanted to take the opportunity to thank the communities who have shown overwhelming support and pride in these players who live in Oliver, Osoyoos, OK Falls, Keremeos, Midway, Greenwood, Princeton and Grand Forks.

Without the support of our communities, minor hockey would not be what it is.

We are so proud to represent the beautiful communities of the South Okanagan and all the players are wearing their jerseys with pride.

We want to thank everyone who has come to our games and cheered the teams on, donated and are cheering us on back home.

These players are making memories that will last a life time.

Some of them and their families may not have had the opportunity to attend Provincials without the support of our of wonderful communities.

Words cannot express our gratitude and thanks for the support, kindness and tremendous generousity of our great communities. We are so touched and proud to live in and be a part of the best communities in our beautiful province.

Go South OK Go!

Thank you once again to all of the players, coaches and team supporters for their tremendous support over the entire season and especially over the past several weeks.

Angela Paolera (Midget team manager)

Vanessa Kriese (Bantam team manager)

Brianne Hillson (Peewee team manager)
