TRURO, N.S. – A pair of Colchester County players have been named to the Nova Scotia Canada Games men’s hockey team.
Truro defenceman Tanner Greatorex and Debert forward Sam Archibald will compete for their province at the Games in Red Deer, Alta., in February.
The 20-player roster was announced this week and also included former Truro major bantam star Jacob Melanson of Amherst, Shubenacadie’s Michael Sack, and Joey Merriam of Milford.
“This has been a long selection process but we are excited with the roster that we have assembled and we’re really looking forward to getting out to Alberta in February,” said head coach Jon Greenwood.
