Ice Jam is back this week with hockey teams in town to fill local hotels and restaurants.
Being held at the HRM 4-Pad in Bedford, this is the premier hockey tournament designed to give maximum exposure for U 18 Major, U 16 AAA and U 15 Major players here in Nova Scotia and around Atlantic Canada to scouts.
Many players that are scouted in this move on to play in the QMJHL with a few Halifax Mooseheads having been discovered at the tournament.
If you can’t make the games, Justin Belanger and the crew at High Button Sports will be covering the games:
My son Drake has previously officiated two Ice Jam Gold Medal Final games as a referee and this year he’s an Officials Supervisor coaching the officials working the games.
(Above: Drake and Ian at the LCLC in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia when he was officiating.)
It’s nice to see the tournament back once more that’s great for the local economy.

Good luck to all the teams from Hot Country 1035!
