LANTZ: March Break means its time for the Trevor Ettinger-Jeff Smith Memorial hockey tournament.

The week-long hockey action features teams from across N.S. coming to the East Hants Sportsplex in Lantz for hockey, but also spending money and supporting local businesses.

In essence, the Ettinger-Smith hockey tournament doesn’t just help the players develop their skills and play the game they love in non-contact fashion, but also is an economic driver in the Enfield to Lantz area.

The Laker News stopped by for some game action, mostly involving East Hants Minor Hockey teams, but also a TASA and Acadia game during the first two days.
