RELAY RACE
Heat 1 | Alberta vs Manitoba vs Saskatchewan |
Heat 2 | Host vs British Columbia |
Final Heat | Winners of Heat 1 vs Heat 2 |
This is a head to head event. The teams of four will line up behind the centre line of the Free Pass circle at one end of the ice surface. When the horn blows the first skater will carry the ring on the ice with their stick, to the opposite end of the ice, pivot around the pylon (left or right – skater’s choice) and return to handoff the ring to the next participant at the starting Free Pass Circle. The skater receiving the ring must receive the ring behind the Free Play Line and can not cross the Fee Play Line until the other skater has completely crossed the Free Play Line. The first team to get all its competitors through the course will win. The winners of heat #1 and heat #2 will run the same course in the final race to determine the Fastest Relay Team. Please note, the ring must be carried on the ice with the stick, and cannot be carried high up on the stick between the skater’s hands. No do-overs allowed in this event.
