The Yelnats (STANLEY backwards) Cup Tournament is coming back to Cochrane for the twelfth consecutive year.

Twenty-four Midget teams from all over Alberta will take part in the tournament that gets underway Thursday, March 22 and runs to Sunday, March 25. The weekend even comes complete with a skills competition taking place on Saturday night.

Last year the Yelnats Cup raised $5,000 for the Lindsay Leigh Kimmett Memorial Foundation through things like raffle tickets and auctions.

The Spray Lakes Recreation Facility on Griffin Road will be the location for all of the games.
