18th annual Battle of the Bellies benefits local youth
Two hockey teams faced off for a good cause at the Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Center.
On Feb 23, members of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band’s (LLRIB) Kethenow Group of Businesses team squared off against members of the Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC) Chiefs in a fundraiser hockey game.
“[It’s] mainly to bring people together, and just to have fun,” LLRIB Chief Tammy Cook-Searson said after the game.
The game was brought about in 1999 by the late, former Vice Chief Leonard Hardlotte. According to Cook-Searson, he wanted to bring communities together while supporting youth in sport at the same time.
