Cameco Hockey Day in Saskatchewan set for two communities
For the first time ever, Cameco Hockey Day in Saskatchewan will hit two communities in the same weekend.
Both Shellbrook and Pinehouse were chosen to host the annual celebration, which is set for the week of Jan. 16 to 22.
Every year, communities have to apply to be selected to win the right to host.
“In Shellbrook, they put together a fantastic application, complete with a video and everything, and that community is just top notch,” Jonathan Huntington, Cameco director of corporate relations, said. “Pinehouse marks the first time this event has gone that far North in Saskatchewan. It will take on a bit of a different flavour. It’ll be more about youth skill development.”
