Sunday Monday Tuesday Feb 13 Feb 14 Feb 15 -6 1 -3 Celebration Square Parents and supporters were out in full force to route on the squad, and although the final result was not what they had hoped for the boys efforts were rewarded when Tyrell Hope drove to the net and scored 25 seconds into the second frame. 2011 Games athletes, volunteers, and the public will be treated to a free concert daily at 12:00pm and 7:00pm.

After a fresh dump of snow during the night, the Biathletes were greeted with another brilliant sunny day. After a shaky 1st day, with missing equipment and second ski bag located at the Freestyle skiing venue 140 km away the team iswas waxed and ready for today. Biathlon would like to thank Dan (mission staff for Freestyle Skiing) for bring the ski bag back to Halifax. National Artist Program Our four national artists took off on their road trip today. For the next few days, they will be winter camping at Ross Creek Arts Centre in Canning, Nova Scotia. There they will be learning from professionals in the areas of music, dance, literary and visual art. As well, they will begin their trading card program with elementary students in various schools in Canning hoping to inspire. Freestyle Skiing It was a windy but beautiful, sunny day at Ski Wentworth. Our athletes were very excited to dawn their skis and hit the slopes. The recent snow fall combined with the host societies snow making efforts have resulted in near perfect conditions for this event. Our team spent a good portion of their training session today in the half pipe. As our athlete do not train in this discipline on a regular basis they are all going to give it their best in the half pipe. The Yukon will be well represented in the mogul and aerial competitions later in the week. It is shaping up to be a very exciting week out at the mountain.
