It's an incredible opportunity for Steinbach.The city will be hosting the Russian World Women's Hockey team next week. Plus they will be hosting an exhibition hockey game between Russia and Switzerland on March 30th and Saturday afternoon Kazakhstan will be playing the U of M Lady Bisons at the TG Smith Centre. Committee member Jac Siemens says having team Kazakhstan and team Russia in Steinbach is a great opportunity for us to build relationships and impress them with who we are as Canadians. Committee chair Cindi Rempel Patrick adds it's not every day that we get to host players of this calibre so this will be an inspiring week for our young female hockey players. Another interesting thing the committee lined up is that 2 women who played hockey in Steinbach back in 1937 will be dropping the puck for the game Saturday afternoon. Leona Rempel and Helen Dueck who are in their 80's and still live in the area will be kicking off the game Saturday afternoon.
