Sports in brief . . .
Try hockey event
Presque Isle Youth Hockey invites boys and girls ages four to nine years old to the Forum on Saturday, Nov. 5 beginning at 3:30 p.m. for a Try Hockey for Free clinic to experience ice hockey for the first time and learn the basics of the sport in a fun, safe environment.
Try Hockey For Free Day is part of Come Play Hockey Month. This program, designed to provide youth hockey associations a national platform to introduce new kids to the sport, is a joint?effort between USA Hockey, the National Hockey League, NHL member clubs and OneGoal.
“We look forward to introducing new families to our sport,” said Erin Benson, PIYH president. “To help keep costs reasonable for parents, we’ve incorporated programs to provide first-year players with equipment for the season.”
The first 40 children will receive a free hockey jersey and mini stick.
