FRANK DYMOCK CLASSIC SET TO GO!
February 16th is soon approaching which means so is the ever popular "Frank Dymock Classic" House League Tournament.  This year the tournament is celebrating 10 years and the organizers couldn't be happier with the response.  Wallaceburg and Walpole Arenas will play host to a maximum 32 teams in the Novice, Atom, Peewee and Bantam Divisions!

Wallaceburg Minor Hockey invites everyone out Family Day weekend to celebrate one of Wallaceburg's (and hockey's) greatest ambassadors, Frank Dymock.  Over three days 68 games will be played between the two arenas starting at noon on Friday until 7pm on Sunday and all for free admission. (Full Schedule)

While enjoying the games at the Wallaceburg arena, friends and family can satisfy their sweet tooth at our bake sale or try their luck at our raffle table, 50/50 draws.  And don't forget our jersey raffle, this year featuring a Toronto Maple Leafs replica jersey signed by Al Iafrate!

Come join us on Saturday at 11am in Wallaceburg to honour Frank by welcoming his family for the ceremonial puck drop.  Also joining us will be some of our sponsors and to honour his son will be Bob Weese; father of the late Mark Weese whom this year's Novice division is named.

So this weekend take some time out of your busy weekend to visit us at the rink and make some memories this Family Day weekend.  WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

If anyone is interested in donating baked goods for our bake sale they can be dropped off at the Wallaceburg arena all day Friday (after 10am) and all day Saturday (after 8am).
