The Guardian Pharmacy/North Bay District Girls Hockey Association Family Skate was a big hit with Association members on Wednesday night.

A reminder to North Bay Junior ‘A’ Trappers fans that the Thursday, December 23rd game vs. Abitibi has been re-scheduled to be played on Sunday, January 23rd.

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.

The North Bay Granite Club will be hosting their annual Boxing Day Family Fun Time beginning at 9:00 a.m. Sunday morning. This is a great opportunity to introduce the sport to newcomers, or organize a favorite rivalry.

Local businessman John Strang, with a little help from his friends, has put Tom Hedican's Coach4Food fundraiser on the brink of breaking last year's record haul.

With donations coming in "seemingly from everywhere," Tom Hedican's Coach4Food Program has broken the 70,000-pound mark, and is now less than 6,000 pounds shy of last year's record mark, with just two days remaining.

The St. Joseph-Scollard Hall Bears Jr. boys basketball team claimed the title in the B Flight of a tournament in Sudbury on the weekend.

The East Nipissing Callander Animal Hospital Atom Vipers won gold with a 7-2 win over East Nipissing Evan's Electric in early December at the Powassan Tournament.

The Powassan Dragons had a good ending to their 2010 season with to wins going into 2011.
