CIty Hall Calls Special Meeting on Hockey Enforcer Issue
Wednesday, June 22, 2005 09:29 AM
There will be a special meeting of Council at City Hall this evening (7:00) to discuss the Battle of the Hockey Enforcers issue.
The booking of the event at CN Centre has caused an uproar in Prince George, as residents say the event will further tarnish Prince George's reputation.
The event pits 16 hockey players against each other, and wearing boxing gloves, the guys on skates will duke it out at centre ice. The promoter has tried, and failed to have this event staged in other cities, but for one reason or another, the chosen sites shut it down.
Here in Prince George, the Athletic Comission says the boxing gloves are to be weighed, and if the right weight, the fight has a green light.
Called the "Goon Show" by many angered residents, the show they say sends thre wrong message to our young, and to the rest of the country on what Prince George is all about.
The City's Manager, George Paul will present a report to Council this evening, the exact nature of the report is not clear.

Thank you very much for what you have done. Now my son's minor hockey fees will increase because the city will get sued for 10 million dollars by the promoters.
Good job ..... how do you sleep at night.
