the day. Altogether almost 20 RMHA teams took part. Games were also played on the community ice from noon to 9 p.m. The Second Russell Scouts sold hot chocolate and hot dogs at lunchtime near the outdoor rink. The day finished off with a chili dinner upstairs at the arena, and proceeds went to the Embrun Good Neighbours Food bank. Hockey Day was celebrated throughout the country, including NHL games featuring Canadian teams and special events in communities nationwide. In Russell the Legion and curling club also joined in by televising games on their big screens. Unfortunately for Senators’ fans, the Oilers won.

From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, February 11, the arena and outdoor rink on Concession St. in Russell were filled with activities. It started with the first event on Friday night, the Arena Banner Contest. Early Saturday the RMHA welcomed special guests, hockey stars Justin Papineau and Shean Donovan. The outdoor rink hosted six hockey games, and 15 teams entered the team skills competition held in the arena throughout
