Busy Monday/Scout Needed

Scout Needed
We are in search of a scout who would be interested in covering the Medicine Hat Hockey Hounds bantam tournament which runs from Thursday, November 17, with the first game starting at 5pm through to Sunday, November 20, with the final game starting at 12:30.  Although the games are being held at 4 different rinks, it would be fine for the scout who is selected to cover this for WEHP could stay mostly at the Kinplex rinks 1/2 for the majority of the tournament, unless needed elsewhere.


If you are going to be in the Medicine Hat and would be interested in sending back numorous reports on players, results and stats for the tournament, let us know and we'll be in touch.  Monetary compensation will be discussed upon selected scout.
