Snowball Tournament

Seven teams competed in Feb. 11 and 12's Ryan Larson Memorial Snow Ball Tournament, which originated in 1985, but changed its name in 1996 to honour then-13 year old Ryan who passed away from meningitis that year.

The trophy went to Ryan's Squad, captained by Ryan's brothers Derek and Devon Larson. The Horny Devils of Kamloops came second and The Bad Dogs third.

The Larsons said there was lots of snow and beautiful weather, making for a wonderful tournament, and wish to express their appreciation to all the players who came from far and wide.
