Although only six peewee players have been registered to date, Kazakoff said the association fully expects that there will be a peewee team of players aged 12 and 13 years. They will be coached by Mike McGriskin who will be assisted by Ryan Bielecki. The peewees have the sportsplex ice at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Three Kamsack girls will be playing with a Yorkton all-female team, she said. They are Sarah Auchstaetter, Brooke Schwartz and Breanne McLean.

The scheduling meeting is being held on October 18, which is about the same time that the sportsplex ice is expected to be ready for use.
