The Junior Boys' and Girls' Broomball tournament took place this weekend in Bruno. Bruno Axemen coach, Ray Bender, says all the excitement surrounding the tournament has been building up all week within the community.

Five girls' teams and four boys' teams from Big River, Debden, Odessa, Vonda, and Bruno participated in the tournament, which took place Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Bender says the annual tournament takes place on the second weekend in January.

The Boys' team from Bruno team was getting ready to play in the final against Odessa Sunday afternoon, says Bender. The Girls' final will have the Odessa team taking on Big River.

The rink has been busy all week leading up to the tournament, and all the flurry of visitors to Bruno has made for an eventful weekend at the Bruno rink, according to Bender.

"It's a great weekend. A lot of people come out and the rink is packed all weekend and there's lots of excitement."

Bender says the tournament is the precursor to the Senior Men's and Ladies' tournament next weekend when Bruno will be host to eight teams.

He enthusiastically adds, "Come on out next week for some more broomball action!"
