MONCTON, NB, March 4 /CNW/ - Across Atlantic Canada, Pee Wee Hockey is reaching its pinnacle this month as young hockey players compete at the Bell Aliant Provincial Championship tournaments. Bell Aliant is supporting that spirit and helping to grow youth hockey in as it renews its commitment as title sponsor of Pee Wee hockey in Atlantic Canada. The agreement is in partnership with the four Provincial Hockey Associations and Hockey Canada's Atlantic Centre of Excellence.
"We have enjoyed a great longstanding partnership with Pee Wee hockey and we look forward to continuing to build a strong Pee Wee hockey program for boys and girls across the region," says Joe Mosher, Vice President Marketing, Bell Aliant. "Over 8000 young hockey players, volunteers, coaches, families and community partners are involved and we are proud to do our part in helping build healthy minds and bodies in our youth across the region."
David Curnew, Event Manager, with Hockey Canada's Atlantic Regional Centre said, "The 2010 Bell Aliant Atlantic Championships will be the culmination of a very exciting and eventful hockey season. Bringing together the best Pee Wee AAA hockey teams in the region to compete for an Atlantic championship will be a very special moment for these young athletes and one they will remember for a long time. We are very pleased to once again recognize another very successful year in Pee Wee hockey due in part to great supporters like Bell Aliant."
The highlight of the Pee Wee AAA season will culminate with the Bell Aliant Pee Wee AAA Atlantics Championships to be hosted at the Redball Internet Centre in Moncton which will crown the best team representing all four provinces in Atlantic Canada.
