LOWER SACKVILLE: It was Hockeyville Rally weekend on Jan. 18-19 at the Sackville Arena in Lower Sackville.

Organizers from the LDRA and Sackville Minor Hockey put on a full weekend of events, including an Alumni game, fun games for the kids, and even music outside.

It was all to show why Sackville is Kraft Hockeyville 2025.

Kraft Hockeyville offers $250,000 to the winning community for rink upgrades and the chance to host an NHL pre-season game.
