Man do I ever miss that week.  As a former 2VP ball-hockey member, we were usually very competitive as well as winning the aggregate a few times.  Those damn "guns" 2003 - 2005.  Always the bridesmaid never the bride.  Those of you in the west appreciate that tourney because no other area has anything close.

Strong Contender is the yearly 1 CMBG sports tournament.

So it is like the Bde Sports Day that 2 CMBG and 5 GBMC have.

PPCLI Guy what a great week I had watching the 2VP ball hockey team. Thanks to all the military members at the Edmonton Garrison for your hospitality.

In the "Old Days" we traveled from Gagetown to Valcartier to Participate in the Brigade winter Games, such lovely events as the 5k snowshoe marathon, REAL Hockey, Biathlon events, including some in winter kit on bangy boards, and a bunch of cross country events.

We usually spent about six days and "two" nights......I seem to remember some place called Le Vendredi de Trenth???

Allons Ye 5 Brigade.
