Funding approved for World Under U-17 Hockey Challenge
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Medicine Hat City Council has agreed to provide a $100,000 operating grant to the 2019 World Under 17 Hockey Challenge host committee.
On January 16, Hockey Canada officially announced Medicine Hat will co-host the tournament along with Swift Current. The games run from November 2-9.
Mayor Ted Clugston says the grant is to help the event take place, but that legacy funding may result in the funds not being used.
