An event that was set to promote the sport of sledge hockey has been canceled.
An awareness event for Yarmouth Minor Hockey and the general public was supposed to take place this Saturday at Mariners Centre.
Facility General Manager Gil Dares says key individuals would have been unable to attend.
“We only just determined that at the last minute, and attendance was looking light. Rather than doing something halfway, we want to do it all the way. What we thought we’d do is choose another date sometime later in the year, and we’ll do a better job.”
New boards along the player bench area have been installed in Arena 1, improving access for sledge hockey.
Dares says groups are welcome to rent the sledges by calling Yarmouth Recreation.
