Everyone watched as pucks slid slowly closer to centre ice and pucks knocked other pucks closer and further away until one was declared the closest. The winner took home a brand new hockey stick for his trouble. (Shawn Loughlin photo) Afternoon house fire claims two in Clinton Local man to spend six months in Afghanistan
