Midget Trappers to play Team Kazahkstan

The North Bay Midget AAA Trappers are going to play some international competition as part of an exhibition series taking place Sudbury in late December. Teams from Russia, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine will clash with Sudbury teams and the North Bay Midget AAA Trappers.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for teams from the Great North Midget League at this time of year and how fitting to be in an international game such as this," said Midget AAA Trappers head coach John Couch.

“Some of the kids and even our coaching staff may never get a chance to participate in an international game like this,” added Midget AAA Trappers assistant coach Mike Reise.
