StoneMtn Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Golden to be re-named 'Hockey' B.C.? Feb 01 2006 Welcome to "Hockey, B.C.". If Golden secondary school's senior leadership class gets its way, that's how we all might end up temporarily greeting town visitors this March, in a publicity stunt that could win the class the chance to bring an NHL exhibition game to Golden and $25,000 in upgrades to the local arena. The somewhat bizarre idea was pitched to council at its January 24 open meeting, where, after an energized presentation from leadership class teacher Souhail Soujah - and more than a little bemused laughter - council unanaimously stated it had no objection to changing the Town of Golden to 'Town of Hockey', but only for a short period of time. "I was quite surprised," says Soujah, who appeared more psyched about the idea than the two students who accompanied him to Town Hall. "I thought there would be some dissenting hands, but they were all in favour - which is awesome." ryan starr Star Editor http://www.thegoldenstar.net/portals-code/list.cgi?paper=100&cat=23&id=581732&more= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
