After just one day, the West 琉璃神社 Warriors inaugural Neighbourhood Roadshow is already a success.

On Sunday, Sept. 8, the team was at Glenrosa Middle School to play road hockey with local kids, meet-and-greet opportunities, and a barbecue.

鈥淲e want to launch the season with a strong community initiative, so we created a concept that makes it convenient for local youth to connect with our players.鈥� said Warriors president Chris Laurie.  鈥淣ot too often do kids get invited to play ball hockey with their junior hockey heroes, so now is their opportunity. It should be a lot of fun for everyone.鈥�

The Warriors are hosting the event twice more this fall: Sunday, Sept. 22 at the Sensisyusten House of Learning Sports Court and on Sunday, Sept. 29 at Mar Jok Elementary School, both from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Kids are encouraged to bring their hockey sticks.
