Hockey Manitoba is committed to promoting female hockey in our province. One of their premier events, the Female Hockey Festival, will be held February 20th in Winnipeg, and February 21st in Brandon. Scott Furman, Director of Finance and Operations with Hockey Manitoba, tells us the festival has been around since 2007.



He says the event continues to be a success and is quite unique because players, coaches and officials all benefit from a fun and interactive environment.



Furman notes the day is entirely free of charge for participants, and in order to be fair, organizers draw names from a hat after all interested players are registered.  



With great players like Sami Jo Small and Delaney Collins helping out this year, Furman says the interest level is expected to be high. To register go to hockeymanitoba.mb.ca. The registration deadline is January 30th.
