3rd Annual Ladies
   Recreational
   Hockey Tournament

10 minutes and 15km north of Calgary is the small city of Airdrie, Alberta, Canada, with a population of about 20,000 people. The Airdrie Nutty Housewife League (NHL) womens ice hockey team makes this fine city home.

April 7-9, 2000 are the tentative dates for the Airdrie Nutty Housewife League Tournament planned to be played at the Twin Arenas in Airdrie. Saturday night is a dinner and entertainment.

The Rebels are considering a trip to Airdrie to show the competing teams ice hockey can be played in sunny California.
