On Saturday, Oct. 27, alumni of the Montreal Canadiens will skate at the Glengarry Sports Palace in Alexandria against a team of Glens alumni. The action is set for a 7 p.m. start.

The event is a fundraiser for the Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation. Tickets are available by contacting the foundation or North Glengarry Recreation.

The Glengarry Hockey School is underway in Alexandria, with a strong number of youngsters participating. The News recently visited the rink and has some photos available in an online gallery here.

Look for a story in an upcoming edition of your community newspaper.

The 2018 edition of the Alexandria junior 'B' Glens hockey club training camp has been moved to Cornwall, due to equipment problems at the Billy Gebbie Arena that are preventing staff from putting in the ice sheet.

In addition, the junior 'A' Hawks had booked ice time in Alexandria for exhibition action with the Cornwall Colts. This has now been moved to St. Isidore.

North Glengarry deputy mayor Jamie MacDonald tells The News that "When the staff were going through their checklist for start-up, they noticed an issue with the chiller. The contractor could only come today (Aug. 21) to fix it, hence pushing back start-up for a few days."

The ice is now scheduled to be ready for Aug. 29.
