After a trio of exhibition games against the West End Bruins (Thunder Bay) two weekends ago, the Fort Frances Midget ‘AA’ Canadians are set to host the fifth-annual Gus Lindberg Memorial tournament this weekend.
“There are going to be some good, tough hockey teams that will be coming here this weekend, and as a result you are going to see some close games,” said Canadians’ head coach Dave Egan.
The tournament schedule had to be rearranged after a team from Duluth was forced to withdraw.
But the stage is set for a total of five games to take place over the next three days, with the Canadians participating in three of those.
The first game goes today at 6 p.m. at the ’52 Canadians Arena with the Canadians taking on Wayzata, followed by the Current River Comets (Thunder Bay) going up against International Falls at 8:15 p.m.
Saturday’s action will move over to the Ice For Kids Arena, with the Canadians facing Current River at 10 a.m. and then Current River squaring off with Wayzata at 7 p.m.
The tournament will wrap up Sunday at 10:45 a.m. when Wayzata will take on the Canadians again, this time at the Ice For Kids Arena.
