Airdrie–Strathmore Minor Hockey
It was reported in the Strathmore Standard that Strathmore Minor Hockey is considering joining forces with minor hockey leagues in Airdrie and Okotoks to create a less competitive house league in order to reduce travel and cost.
Greg Wing, general manager of the Airdrie Minor Hockey Association, said in an email that while the association has met once with Strathmore Minor Hockey, “it was an informal meeting and we did not commit to any program changes.”
