Hockey fans in the Battlefords could be in store for championship bantam hockey action in 2017 if all goes well.
A bid proposal is being put together for the Battlefords to host the 2017 Western Canada Bantam Championships between March 30 and April 2, 2017.
If the bid is successful, the host team would be the Battlefords AA Barons.
The bantam champions of Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba would also be included.
News about the bid was made public at Battleford town council Monday. Destination Battlefords was seeking a letter of support for the bid.
The only likely competition for the event would be from other Saskatchewan communities, as 2017 will be Saskatchewan’s turn to host that hockey tournament. Kindersley had hosted the tournament the last time it was in Saskatchewan in 2013.
