The spirit of hockey is alive and well in Revelstoke.
On Feb. 17, Revelstoke Minor Hockey and Hockey Hall of Fame hosted a day of events for Hockey Day in Revelstoke.
Among them were Revelstoke Minor Hockey Games, Chuck a Puck contest, a public skate and shinny hockey, the annual charity game between the fire department and RCMP detachment, Aaron Volpatti’s jersey retirement and the final Revelstoke Grizzlies regular season game.
“I am honoured and humbled,” Volpatti told the Review before the ceremony. “It’s completely unnecessary, but very cool.”
