2006 Tournament @ Winterlude

The 31^st Ranger tournament at Winterlude was a great success! Fans were treated to exciting hockey. All of our Ranger teams should be very proud of their accomplishments.

On behalf of the Ranger Executive and Board I would like to thank Jenn Primeau and Joan Lajeunesse, the tournament Co-Directors, the tournament committee, and all of the members of each Ranger team who volunteered their time. Without their efforts this first class Tournament would not be possible.

The playoffs are just around the corner and I would like to wish all of our teams the best of luck. With this time of year comes more emphasis on winning. We parents, coaches and players must remember that it is possible to give our all to earn the "W" and, at the same time honor this great game of hockey. Striving to win and displaying good sportsmanship are not mutually exclusive; rather, they go hand in hand. Good luck have fun!
