The “Under 9” Ice Hockey Tohoku Region Tournament was held on January 26th and 27th at Morioka City . Any child from 5 years-old up to 3rd grade was able to participate in this tournament. Two teams were from Iwate Prefecture , one team was from Fukushima Prefecture , another team was from Akita Prefecture and the Misawa Jr. Ice Hockey Club is from Aomori Prefecture . The Misawa Jr. Ice Hockey Club members had two games in two days and spent the night in Morioka City . They put forth a great effort and did their best in this competition. And for that they got FIRST PLACE ! They did really great job playing together with their teammates. I hope they do not to forget that moment and feeling and practice hard every day for the next year!

For those who are interested in joining the Misawa Jr. Ice Hockey Club, please feel free to email Mrs. Taeko Koizumi at ty.misawajunior@gmail.com. Practices are normally held at Misawa Ice Arena on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 18:15 during the season.

They are going to have the annual rookie's competition on April 20th and 21st at the Misawa Ice Arena. Under 4th graders and younger rookies are going to participate. The other teams participating are from Hachinohe City , Iwate and Miyagi Prefecture . Also, Sumitomo Cup Jr. Ice Hockey games will be held on April 6 th , 7 th , 13 th and 14 th also at Misawa Ice Arena. If you live in Misawa, it is easy to get there.
