AWG Trials - Let's hear your story!!!
We are thrilled to the upcoming Arctic Winter Games trials in Hay River & Yellowknife. This event promises to be a showcase of talent, determination, and community spirit, as Hockey Athletes from all over the Territories come together to compete and share their love for the sport.
We believe that every journey has a story, and we would love to share the experiences of our athletes, the preparations done in the communities, and the tireless work of our volunteers. If you have any stories, images, or videos that you would like to share, we would be delighted to feature them. Please send your contributions to
media@hockeynorth.ca or text them to Thor at (867) 373-2101. We plan to use these stories, images, and videos to create articles and social media posts that will bring our community closer together during this exciting time.
Here are some ideas for the kind of content we're looking for:
- The journey to Hay River & Yellowknife
- Training sessions prior to the trials
- Volunteers preparing the venue and accommodation
- Volunteers transporting athletes
- The setup of the venues
- Athletes arriving at the venue
- Volunteers sharing their excitement
Very important, our hashtag to highlight the importance of everyone included: #weareallteamnt
