GAME(S) OF THE WEEK:

Tier I & II

#2 (Tier II) Medicine Hat Hawks at #8 (Tier I) Raymond Comets

6:00 p.m., Thursday, October 7, Comets Stadium (Raymond)

There is something going on in Southern Alberta this year, big games all over the place.

Each week some of Southern Alberta’s top Tier I and II teams from outside Calgary are meeting up in must see games. The reason? For years, larger schools have existed in leagues full of smaller schools and in some situations have led to competitive imbalance. At the same time, the larger schools interested in advancing to Provincials had few games to sharpen the axe.

The solution? An unofficial Southern Alberta Division I Exhibition schedule was drawn up featuring Raymond, L.C.I, Medicine Hat, Cardston, Catholic Central, Foothills and Holy Trinity Academy and each team will play the others while honoring their league schedules (if any) to the best of their ability.

This weekend features just such a game as the undefeated Medicine Hat Hawks travel to Raymond to take on the Comets and arguably Canada’s most passionate hometown fans.
