This weekend was a game-changer for Hockey Alberta.
A total of 15 provincial hockey championships were held across the province, but the Under 13 (U13) Female A Provincial Championship hockey tournament in Picture Butte, Alberta stood out as the first of its kind in the province.
Tournament organizer Jane Groenenboom said what made this particular provincial championship tournament so unique was the all-female officiating team.
“This is the first time in provincial history that an all-female crew has been refereeing for the whole tournament, and so it is the first time ever for Hockey Alberta,” said Groenenboom.
