Submitted by Lisa Kowalski The 2018-19 hockey season started with the annual fall player evaluation tournament held at East End Arena from Friday, September 14 to Friday, September 21. Team hopefuls from the Transcona Railer Express (TRE), the St. Vital Vics, the Ft. Garry/Ft.Rouge Twins, the Stonewall Jets and the Pembina Valley Twisters competed in pre-season, exhibition games. It was great seeing the teams back on the ice, show-casing top-notch performances for all hockey fans to watch. This tournament also provides the league’s coaching staff that extra chance to further evaluate prospects who are giving it all on the ice as they compete for that coveted spot on a team’s roster. All Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League players con- stantly strive to be the one, that difference maker who helps their respective team reach the all-important post-season. Join 2018-19 Express Captain, Kelby Picard as he leads the Express The Express home schedule will continue on Friday, October 12 when the Express take on the Ft. Garry/Ft. Rouge Twins.
