WHL's Hurricanes train at Dinsmore rink

The Hurricanes roster includes local boy Joe Arntsen, who Dinsmore kids were excited to meet.

DINSMORE - The Lethbridge Hurricanes of the WHL made a special stop in the local area on Thursday, February 29 when they held a team practice session at the rink in Dinsmore.

The community welcomed the team with open arms as the afternoon training was watched by a number of locals, as well as students from the neighboring Dinsmore Composite School. The team was getting ready for a game against the Saskatoon Blades on Friday night and decided to make a pit-stop to warm themselves up with some training.

It was also an appropriate setting due to the fact that Hurricanes #7 Joe Arntsen is originally from Dinsmore. The 20-year old, 6'3" left defenseman was happy to be back in front of his hometown supporters, taking the time to sign some autographs and take some photos, and the community in turn is proud to see a local boy going far in the sport of hockey.
