Youth beats experience

Inuvik - Young people from Samuel Hearne school played an exhibition game against their teachers and principal on Nov. 23.

The quick game ended in a 6-4 victory for the students.

Principal Roman Mahnic - a former resident of Tuktoyaktuk - certainly gave it his best.

"Here, take a photograph of this ... it's a bead of sweat," he jokingly said as he took a break on the bench.

Teaching assistant Maia Lepage said there might be another game scheduled in the future, after the SHSS Wolverines return from Hay River.

Besides, after suffering a questionable defeat (the exhibition game only lasted two 22 minute periods, and who would call that official?) Lepage said some teachers feel they could use a rematch.

"We all had fun, maybe we'll do it again," she said.

Tickets for the evening were $5 for adults and $2 for students, with proceeds going to Inuvik's Food Bank.
