Midget Nationals in Saskatoon
August 13, 2007
Saskatoon, SK
We have had many requests for results from the Midget Nats in Saskatoon but we have received none yet.
We have requested that we do receive game summaries as the scores do not tell us much.
Their web site is: http://www.2007midgetboyscanadians.com/
and the draw/results are at http://www.2007midgetboyscanadians.com/draw/draw.php
(Too bad we can't get Pat Healey from PEI to run out to Saskatoon and send us reports. He spoiled us last week with his game by game updates. Great job Pat!
