Newfoundland and Labrador provincial ball hockey championships get rolling

It’s so big, it will take two weekends to complete.

The first part of the Newfoundland Labrador Ball Hockey Association’s two-weekend provincial tournament was held over the Canada Day weekend in St. John’s, where 28 teams from across the province competed in four divisions across four age groups.

Three of the five finals went into extra time, one needing double OT for a result.

The second part of the provincial event goes July 5-7, with the under-17 and female divisions operating out of Feildian Gardens, while men’s divisions will play out of Goulds Arena.
