1/1

Hockey Night in WarkworthThere was plenty of excitement in the village last night as the Percy Pee-

wee Bulldogs played their home opener against Norwood before a large

and boisterous crowd at the Warkworth Arena. The team did a great job

organizing a special Opening Night event that included performances by

tribute arsts Stompin Jon and Lorraine Marie, free giveaways, a silent

aucon, chuck-

a-

puck and even appearances by former NHL player ShawnAntoski and Trent Hills Mayor Hec Macmillan. As for the game, the Bull-

dogs came away with a 6-2 win. Congratulaons to everyone involved for

a job well done!

hing the ice. Jamie prefers to relax and catch up on all the news

by reading the Warkworth Journal. Marc, who is a self-described

tness bu, does a series of leg stretches to help prevent any

Instead of focusing on the game at hand, Percy Bulldogs players Mason

Waldie (le), Noah Kelly (centre) and Tosh Jamieson get a lile distract-

ed in the dressing room. Coach Jake Whalen was not impressed. (Dont

worry fellas, it happens to our readers all the me.)
