This year's Ontario Midget Championships is being hosted by Soo
Finnish Nordic in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, March 10 and 11. Given the
proximity to the U.S. border, the organizing committee wanted to extend a
special welcome to competitors from south of the border. We all feel
that the opportunity to make this an international event shouldn't be
missed, as it would add an extra element of fun and excitement to what
is already a significant event in the calendar for youth involved in
competitive cross country skiing. The Midget Championships are for youth that meet the age criteria for Peewee and Midget categories (see the race notice at http://www.soofinnishnordic.com/events/2012%20Midget%20Champs%20Race%20Notice_Final.pdf
for details). The race notice can also be referenced for items such as
racing format and distances, directions to the race site, etc. Registration for this race closes March 5, and can be conducted through zone4 at http://www.zone4.ca/reglist.asp?id=4447. Registration for Saturday night's banquet can also be completed on line. One
other item you should consider if you're thinking of attending is
accommodation. Unfortunately, Sault Ste. Marie Ontario will be hosting
the world masters hockey championships the same week as the Midget
Championships. Guidance regarding finding appropriate accommodation
during the Midget Championships can be found at http://www.xco.org/youth/temporar/12-03-13_Hotels_for_Midget_Championships.pdf.
One option you may want to consider if you're having difficulty finding
accommodation is staying on the Sault, Michigan side of the border. We
hope to see some of you out in March. In the meantime, please feel free
to contact me if you have any questions regarding this event.
Thanks. Jim Mihell, Competition Secretariat, Ontario Midget Championships.
