Balmoral Rec Hockey welcomed teams from Winnipeg Beach for its annual jamboree on Saturday, March 21, filling the Balmoral Recreation Centre with a full day of minor hockey action.
Teams from the U7 through U18 divisions played multiple games throughout the day in a recreational format focused on participation and development.
The U18 matchups against the Balmoral Blizzards highlighted the schedule, drawing strong support from the stands and providing a competitive finish to the day.
“Events like this are a great reminder of what recreational hockey is all about — kids having fun, being active, and enjoying time with their teammates,” said Balmoral Rec Hockey committee representative Jen Beirnes, who also thanked volunteers, players and families for their support.
The program continues to operate through volunteer coaches, managers and organizers, with community recreation in Balmoral dating back to the early 1970s.
Arena staff were also acknowledged for maintaining ice conditions and ensuring the event ran smoothly.
