The Diamond Energy Female Midget Wildcats will connect with their past while getting ready for next week's Mac's Midget Tournament.

They will welcome 19 former players, including 14 that are currently playing university hockey in Canada and the United States, for an alumni game Friday at the Fairview Arenas.

"I think it should be a good event, and maybe the start of something bigger in the future," said Wildcats Coach Terry Pavely. "We've been talking about the importance to start connecting our current players with our alumni. As coaches, we are in contact with a lot of our former players and they still contact us if they're playing in college or trying to get into the workforce. They're the kids that are the building blocks of this team and it's nice to get them involved with the current girls."

Face-off is at 4:45pm from and admission is $2.00.

The Wildcats will start the Mac's tournament next Friday in Calgary.
