With the 2016-2017 Tiger Hills Hockey League regular season set to begin, the Neepawa Farmers are heading into the year with a real sense of optimism. Training camp is underway for the senior ‘A’ hockey club, with between 25 and 30 players vying for the chance to represent the team. General manager Rodney White noted that while the core of the 2015-2016 squad has returned, there are also about a half dozen new prospects in camp who are seriously pushing for a spot on the roster.

For the past three weeks, Rick Sparling has shared memories of growing up in Neepawa during the 1950s and 1960. This final week features memories of the Dalton sisters.
Jackie Dalton’s (Schwab) memories of growing up in Neepawa are summed up in the e-mail she sent me, as follows:
Neepawa was a great place to grow up in. I remember going any place and every place and never having any doubts or fears. I was all over that town. Spent a lot of time at the skating rink. Mr. Wilkie would always help us kids get our feet warmed up after skating for hours. Our feet would be so cold and he would rub them for us and then tell us to jump on our toes around the office to get the blood circulating in our feet again. We didn't want to warm them up too fast otherwise they would hurt even worse.
