The Airdrie Xtreme are in Medicine Hat for the 39th annual Medicine Hat Hockey Hounds Bantam Triple-A Hockey Tournament, but have stumbled out of the blocks.

Thursday, November 17, they dropped their first game of the tournament 6-2 to SSAC Edmonton.

To the Xtreme's credit, it was also a travel day to Medicine Hat.

They are back on the ice Friday morning to take on POE Kelowna at 8 am.
