Cranbrook RecPlex, Cranbrook

We moved to Cranbrook when our oldest was 5. The community is very pro hockey but how can it not be with NHL stars such as the Neidermeyer's being born and raised there. Cranbrook is in the South East corner of British Columbia and the only large center for hundreds of miles away. It is for that reason we travel and participate in leagues and tournaments often very far away from Cranbrook. This is a big commitment and financial burden for many parents. Our son will soon be 16 and through Cranbrook hockey he has had the oppportunity to participate in such events as Youth 16 and attend WHL camps. By publishing my story, it would give Cranbrook hockey and those involved all these years, some acknowledgment that their hard work is appreciated. Winning Hockeyville would go far towards recognizing our community, volunteers and parents commitments and help towards upgrading some of our aging venues.
