Students from various local high schools will gather at Memorial Gardens today (Monday) for the 47th annual East-West game.

It includes 5 periods of hockey with the action starting at 10:30.

Sylvie Vannier is on the organizing committee and says there’s quite the school spirit competition too.

Vannier says this event shows all the school spirit you would want to see, as students have worked a long time on developing their cheer and getting the students to learn the choreography.

She says some students have heard for years from their parents about the East-West game and now they will get a chance to experience it for themselves.

In addition, staff and students at all the schools have been talking about the game for a while.

The competition starts at 10:30 am.

The event was originally scheduled for last Friday, but bus cancellations because of the weather postponed the event to today.
