Titan’s parent-billet weekend attendees enjoy poker tourney, pancake dinner

Continued from Page 1

Saturday morning, a pancake breakfast was held at the Neepawa Curling Club and it was well attended. When you have hockey players and families gathered together, good food always attracts a crowd.

Dudenhofer and McCarty set up a car rally/ scavenger hunt that was a great success as well.

Some of the parents took part in the first Neepawa Titans Texas Hold-em poker tournament that was held at the Neepawa Curling Club as well. Tournament organizers Ryan Ford and Jamie Denbow both said the tournament was well attended with almost 50 players from near and far across Manitoba. Ford said “The poker players were very pleased and the poker players hope we can hold more tournaments.” Several poker players reported to The Neepawa Banner that the event was very well run. The team contracted a consultant to ensure that the tournament was professionally managed. The Neepawa Curling Club operated their popular bar and sales were reported to be brisk. The poker players had supper catered by Chicken Chef.

At the parent/billet Saturday supper hour at Brew’s Bros restaurant in downtown Neepawa the restaurant was filled to capacity for a leisurely and excellent dinner that was attended by many of the players, billets and parents.

Weekend visitors had a chance to participate in a Spin Cycle event on Sunday morning and had some time off through Sunday. Sunday dinner was at Boston Pizza and the team room was filled to capacity for the pre-game meal.

The Titans played a game Sunday at 6:30 and it was a Hylife Foods sponsored game with over 800 people attending. The crowd was loud and enthusiastic.

The weekend finale was a group photo taken at centre ice as parents, billets and players said their good-byes after what was reported to be a fun-filled weekend.
