Local eight-year-old hockey player wins prize of cannabis, edibles at Dawson Creek tournament
It was a prize Keith Redl was not expecting his eight-year-old grandson to come away with from his novice hockey tournament this past weekend in Dawson Creek.
Redl’s grandson plays in the Grande Prairie Minor Hockey Association. As part of the tournament, like many other youth hockey tournaments, a prize draw table was set up as a fundraiser.
“They lay these prizes out on a table in a prize room… and they put a paper bag in front of each one of the prizes. Then people buy tickets, like 10 for five bucks or whatever,” explained Redl. “Then they go and put their ticket in the paper bag in front of the prize that they’re trying to win.”
Redl’s grandson did just that, placing one of his tickets in for what he thought was a prize pack of chocolates and other assorted treats.
