   Kalbhen’s position is Centre while Kenney’s is defense. Kalbhen said, “The most difficult thing is learning to play with the new team. There were 3 tryouts with cuts and then two more tryouts before qualifying.”
   Prior to the Alberta Winter Games, they will have a chance to play against other teams. Their first game was against Calgary Northwest and it resulted in a 5-3 win. On January 9, they’ll play against another Calgary team.
   Kenney said, “Once we get there (Alberta Winter Games) it will be a lot different, meeting all the other sports teams and players.”
