Come out & support girls hockey in your community. On Sunday, June 12, the Frontenac Girls' Hockey Association (Frontenac Fury) will be holding their 3rd annual Fun Run at the Frontenac Arena, 4299 Boundary Rd., starting at 9 a.m. There will be a 1K Kids Walk/Run, as well as a 5K & 10K Walk/Run.

The run is one of the association’s major fundraisers of the year, with all funds going back into the association. This year the run is sponsored in part by KFL&A Healthy Kids. They are looking for more runners. Fury girls will serve as "race marshals" and there will be door prizes. Register at runningroom.com

Also taking place later in the day at the arena is “Hockey Day in Frontenac”. Starting at noon there will be a barbecue, Face Painting, Air Castle and wagon Rides. Funds from the barbecue will support Frontenac Arena improvements

Registration is now open and the association is still seeking some atom and peewee players. They are also hoping to mount a novice team this year. The volunteer-led association is growing. This past season they grew to two peewee and two bantam teams from one each.

One of the peewee teams captured the championship this year and the peewee and bantams teams have also come away with a few tournament wins. They are also excited about being accepted for the First Shift program, which will help equip players aged 6-10 with equipment at a much reduced rate. All of this is great news for the community as the association helps empower young girls to be active as they help build self-confidence, sportsmanship and leadership.
