U18 Trackers annual Christmas game returns December 15th

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Northeast BC under-18 Trackers’ annual Christmas game is set to return to the North Peace Arena on December 15th. 

This year’s game begins at 11 a.m. and will feature a matchup against the Whitecourt Wolverines. 

Students from Dr. Kearney Middle School, Bert Bowes Middle School, North Peace Secondary School and the Energetic Learning Campus will be bussed from school to attend the game. 

Approximately 1,500 students are expected to fill seats at the arena. 

Admission for the game is one dry food item for donation to the Women’s Resource Society (WRS).

Last year, the Trackers donated to the local Salvation Army foodbank. Kristi Dietz, whose son currently plays for the Trackers, spoke on behalf of the organization as to why they chose to donate to the WRS this year. 

“We just kind of wanted to spread it around a bit,” said Dietz.

“The Huskies do Fill the Bus for the Salvation Army, and we know the Women’s Resource Society is always hard up for donations as well.”

Last year’s Christmas game was a double success, with the Trackers celebrating a 5-4 win over the Peace River Royals and collecting several hundred pounds of food for the Salvation Army.
