The U15 Thunder travelled to Williams Lake on the Jan. 27 to 29 weekend to compete at a tournament.

The rep team kicked off the tournament Friday night with a win against Fort St. John.

Saturday morning the team recorded a loss against Kamloops, but bounced back in the afternoon with a win over Vernon.

Sunday morning semi-finals saw the Thunder battle it out in a hotly contested match-up against Fort St. John, but it would be FSJ who headed to the finals against Vernon, who won the tournament.

Next up for the team is a tournament in Penticton this weekend.

Sunday’s smoke was no match for the hope inspired each year by the Terry Fox Run. The Quesnel Rotary Club led the organization for this year’s event at LeBourdais Park on Sept. 17. There was the popular mass start at 10 a.m. for walkers, runners, joggers, strollers, wheelers, and even some on-leash barkers, who altogether raised $17,000 for cancer causes.
