The Fernie Ghostriders held their AGM on June 1st and it was standing room only… they didn’t put out any chairs.
Just seven people showed up for the meeting including team president Barb Anderson and vice president Jon Levesque, but it will be enough to run the team again next season.
Ghostrider accountant Jason Traska said the club did fairly well considering that Covid restrictions only allowed 500 fans in the rink for most of the year. Despite the odds the team made enough to play off their $40,000 Covid loan and still have enough in the bank to start up again in the fall. In other words, financially, they have graduated from treading water to dog paddling.
Oddly enough overall attendance was down but beer sales were up and that’s great news for the Fernie Brewing Company and anyone who sells Tylenol.
Players and fans will like the latest league news, the schedule will feature a modified crossover next season meaning that five of the ten Okanagan teams will play games here in Fernie.
And finally, Coach Ty Vallin has signed three players for the upcoming 44 game season. Forward’s Lucas Desjarlais and Michele Romeo along with defenceman Ravnoor Randhawa. All three are from around the Edmonton area.
