The local boys and girls Midget AAA teams are gearing up for the start of their regular seasons with some exhibition tune-ups this weekend.

Female Diamond Energy Wildcats Coach Terry Pavely says the level of play at their tournament last weekend was an adjustment for some of the rookies.



Pavely is taking the Wildcats on an Alberta trip this weekend that includes a practice with the University of Calgary and games with the Banff Hockey Academy.

Meanwhile, the Home Hardware Legionnaires play a home and home with Saskatoon, new head coach Jason Johns is keeping a close eye on some 15-year-olds trying to make the roster.



With three players still at WHL or SJHL camps, Johns wants to see if some of their rookies would be capable of filling bigger roles if necessary.
