Bonnyville sends Pontiacs off with a standing ovation

In their final game of the 2010-2011 season, the crowd was on its feet to thank the Bonnyville Pontiacs of the AJHL for an exciting year filled with good memories. Unfortunately with a 3-2 loss in the sixth game of a best of seven against the Ft. McMurray Oil Barons the trip to the cup was cut short with the loss. The year finished with several awards for a couple of the players and the head coach Chad Mercier who won coach of the year. Julien Laplante won goal tender of the year with a record nine shutouts and Kevin Carthy picked up the Don McNab Memorial trophy as the most dedicated player who played all 60 games of the season and scored four game winners.

Until next year Thanks Pontiacs for some great hockey action.

Don't forget the Hospitality job fair at the Centennial Centre Hub on Wednesday, March 23 from 5 until 9 p.m. A great way to find out what's happening in the restaurant, hotel and events industry.  There might even be a new career opportunity.

To end the hockey season here's a little funny for you. And I do mean little. Enjoy.

A hockey hooligan appeared in court charged with disorderly conduct and assault. The arresting officer, giving evidence, stated that the accused had thrown something into the canal.
"What exactly was it that he threw into the canal" asked the magistrate.
"Stones, sir."
"Well, that's hardly an offence is it?"
"It was in this case, sir," said the police officer. "Stones was the referee".
