Alberta town receives $50K for arena rebuild and hosts street hockey fundraiser

A southern Alberta town, Taber, has won $50,000 as a provincial winner in the Kraft Hockeyville contest, following the destruction of its hockey arena by an explosion in December. The town will advance to the national phase of the competition, with potential for more funding. Local youth hockey players have been forced to travel for practices, prompting community fundraising efforts, including a street hockey tournament scheduled for March 27-28, as they aim to rebuild their rink and support local hockey.
