Kamloops minor hockey feeling the pinch with limited ice times in the city
KAMLOOPS — The start of minor hockey is in the air. Rep tryouts are going this week at McArthur Island.
It’s the beginning of what players hope is a full season amid the pandemic, but the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association (KMHA) is facing a challenge maybe greater than COVID-19 — and that is limited ice time.
“It’s the million dollar question,” noted KMHA operations coordinator Riley Woodland on whether more rinks will open in the city. “We’re doing what we can. Hopefully we can put a little pressure on the city to hopefully open things up, but at the end of the day the membership’s got to come together and push for it.”
