Each class will have one winner and that person will receive 2 free Pizza Day lunches! The person who memorizes the most places after the decimal will win 4 Pizza day lunches! Go for it!

• Yesterday at the Sackville arena the LT Lions faced off against the LT Lions. Scoring for the Lazers were Jordan, Jake, and Riley and The Lions responded with goals from Seth and MacKenzie. After 40 mins the teams were tied and a sudden death shootout Would decide the game. In the shootout Seth and Jordan traded markers, and with the game on his stick Luke Silk Brown fired the winner sending the Lions to victory. Great game by all players including the goaltending effort of Alex Aliga and HTB student Rebecca LeBlanc. The Lazers look to respond after March break and tie the best of seven series.
