WEYBURN– While arena repairs are underway, the City is excited to announce a partnership with Hockey Weyburn to host the U9 hockey tournament at the outdoor rink at the Spark Centre this weekend. With the forecast calling for beautiful weather and the exceptional quality of the outdoor facility, this event will become a Winter Classic in Weyburn.
The tournament will feature 16 teams and nearly 190 young athletes. Playing under the open sky offers a unique opportunity for these young players and their families, creating unforgettable memories of the game in a truly special setting.
“This collaboration highlights the City’s resilience and dedication to supporting community groups, ensuring events continue even during challenging times,” said Andrew Crowe, Director of Leisure Services. “We’re thrilled to be part of this memorable moment and proud of the community’s ability to adapt and thrive.”
Further updates on the arenas’ reopening will be provided as information becomes available.
