Thank you Ice!
Letter to the Editor

I want to express my thanks and appreciation to the Kootenay Ice organization, and particularly to Jeff Chynoweth, president/general manager and Geoff Davidson, director of sales, for encouraging the on-ice 95th Birthday celebration for Ruby Sinclair, their #1 fan. It was a very community minded way to celebrate the opening of the 2012/2013 season and the Ice players did their part by winning the game against the Regina Pats at Western Financial Place.
Although it’s great to have as many fans as possible filling the seats for every game there is a particularly important one coming up on November 16 against Brandon. This game will be broadcast live by Shaw cable, and having the arena filled by fans portrays an important picture of the significance of hockey to Cranbrook. This will also be the first School Spirit night for the new season. Please set aside this date and plan to attend!
The Ice are an important part of our social fabric and our economy. I wish them all the best this season, and I look forward to seeing you at the games!
Go Ice Go!
Mayor Wayne Stetski,
Cranbrook
