The East St. Paul Community Club played host to the Tournament of Aces Hockey Tournament from March 8 to 17. The tournament has been running since the 1970’s and it’s often regard- ed as the “playoffs” for many young hockey players in the community. Nancy Plustwa, the general manager of the East St. Paul Community Cen- tre, said the event is a fundraiser, and this year they hope to replace their aging goalie gear. “I’ve been here for fi ve years, the equipment was already 10 years old by that point. It’s the old stuff, it’s re- ally heavy, and as the generations go by, kids get bigger … It doesn’t re- ally fi t them anymore,” Plustwa said.

She started with the St. Andrews Fire Department in 1970, and now at the age of 78, she’s still passionate about fi re safety. She recently decided to stop by the Age-Friendly Building in St. Andrews for a small event and was fl ooded with memories. Because the Age-Friendly Building used to be the home of the St. Andrews fi re hall, and she was there “90 per cent of the time.” Paradoski said at the time, there were only six volunteer fi refi ghters. She felt like she had to step up, and help. “My husband (Tony Paradoski) start- ed in 1970, and I used to sit in on the meetings, because they were held in our basement.

By Brian Bowman As the Selkirk Steelers cleaned out their lockers this past week after los- ing to the Virden Oil Capitals in their MJHL quarter-fi nal series, several of those players will be doing so for the very last time. Selkirk will see eight players age out of junior hockey. That is a large turnover over one season and next year’s edition of the Steelers will have plenty of new faces. “We knew that going in and, unfor- tunately, we’re out now,” said Nick Lubimiv, the Steelers’ head coach and director of hockey operations, Tues- day afternoon. “We thought we had a team that was built to go a little bit longer.” RECORD PHOTO BY JASON MCWHA/DIRECTED MEMORIES A lot of the Steelers’ up-and-coming talent is on the younger side.
