Dragons get soaked in Ice Bucket Challenge

Dragons goalie Curits Skip challenged his coaches to take the Ice Bucket Challenge and in turn the whole team took it on.

The Drumheller Dragons iced down after practice on Tuesday afternoon by taking on the Ice Bucket Challenge.

 This is not the end of the line however as the team challenged all the other teams in the  Viterra AJHL Southern Division.

 


Creating a personal parking stall

Perhaps the driver of this car took the “No Large Trucks” sign to mean their car could squeeze into a space in  front of the fence. RCMP attended the scene, where no one was injured when driver miscalculation meant this car hit the fence behind the Ramada Inn Tuesday and became lodged on the median. The car was able to be removed from the median without a tow truck

Terrapins officially begin new football season

Dumheller’s peewee football team, the Terrapins, do warm up exercises, led by fitness trainer Heather Jones, prior to Wednesday’s practice. The Terrapins hit the field at Drumheller Valley Secondary School August 20 for their first official team practice. The team plays their first home game of the season on Saturday, September 6.

The Drumheller Terrapins have kicked off their second season, with the number of players joining the team well over last year.
    Head Coach Corey Miles said the team had 40 players join up, compared to 28 players last in 2013.
    One of the reasons may be the addition of grade 7 players to the roster. Last season, their first year as a team, the Terrapins included grades five and six players only.
    The Terrapins joined Central Alberta’s peewee football league, which allows for players from  grades five, six and seven.
    That means a lot of players from last year’s team were able to return to play for the Terrapins, Miles said.
    He notes that during their inaugural season, the grade 5 and 6 Terrapins played a lot of big teams with grade 7 players.
    This season, the coach is hoping for a win, or better yet, six wins.
    Being a member of the Central Alberta league will give the Terrapins a shot to go to  playoffs. Last season, said Miles, the team played mainly exhibition games.
    The team’s first home game of their new season at Titans Field is Saturday, September 6, and the coach adds, “We can’t wait for the season to get going.”
