Lethbridge Lightning holding tryouts ahead of inaugural season
LETHBRIDGE – The Lethbridge Lightning will be one of two new expansion teams joining the Ranchland Hockey League for the upcoming season, the first Senior AA men’s team in Lethbridge since 2001.
Lethbridge, and the other new team Siksika, are joining the Nanton Palominos, Fort Macleod Mustangs, Piikani Regulators and Kainai Braves in the senior league.
Rob Zintel, Director of Hockey Operations, says the RHL is great league with some fantastic talent in it right now, and he’s ready to get going.
“I know I’ve talked to guys in the community currently playing in beer leagues who have the desire to play some competitive hockey. There’s a need for players who are still young, but aged out of Junior hockey, to keep active and stay competitive within the community,” Zintel continued to say. “The Lightning will fill the gap for those who still have the fire of competition burning in them.”
