During the day on Friday, there are games in all three arenas. The four finals are Sunday afternoon at the Kincardine arena.
The Kincardine U13 LL2 team had Rogers TV visit the Davidson Centre last Saturday to film part of a practice. The team will be part of the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup on Rogers TV this Saturday night.
