The annual Ryan Larson Memorial Snowball Tournament on March 14-15 saw seven teams competing on fields of ice, making for very hard work.
Co-ordinator Barry Larson thanked the teams for “making it work” in spite of the difficult conditions; Craig Charlton for all his help; and the concession ladies for “keeping us fed.”
The trophy went to the Horny Devils of Kamloops, followed by Lee Cleveland’s Boozin Buddies, and 100 Mile’s Unusual Suspects.
This tournament originated in 1985 to support Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion Tour, but in 1996, it became a memorial to honour Ryan Larson who passed away from meningitis when he was just 13. His brothers and cousins always field teams for the annual event.
