 Ontario Midget Championships - March 10,11, 2012

The Soo Finnish Nordic Ski Club will be hosting the Ontario Midget Championships on March 10th and 11th.  Register online at Zone4Check out the race notice for more information.



Hotels for Midget Championships

Sault Ste. Marie will be hosting the World Masters Hockey Championships the same weekend as the Ontario Midget Championships (March 10 -11). The race committee has canvassed several local hotels, and we've discovered that all the major hotels are sold out for that weekend. Nevertheless, there are still  several good hotels in town that still have rooms available, and we are confident that this situation won't impact our event - provided that team managers are aware of the situation and book their hotels now.

Hotels with confirmed openings as of Thursday, November 10th are as follows:

  1. Glenview Cottages (705-759-3436).

    • Current availability: 18 - 1 bed cottages, 8 - 2 bed cottages

    • This is a particularly good option due to its proximity to Hiawatha Highlands

  2. Super 8 Motel (705-254-6441)

    • Current availability: 68 rooms (50% with 2 queen beds, 50% with 1 Queen / King bed)

  3. Skyline Motel (705-942-1240)

    • Current availability: 15 rooms (21 beds)

  4. Adams Motel (705-254-4345)

  5. Ambassador Motel (705-759-6199)

Unfortunately, due to the situation, the hotels owners that we talked to weren't open to holding a block of rooms, so please act as soon as possible to book the rooms that you anticipate requiring.

The race committee didn't check all accommodations, so there will undoubtedly be many more rooms available in town in addition to those listed above.

A complete listing of accommodations in the Sault Ste. Marie area can be obtained from the Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce Accommodations web site: http://www.ssmcoc.com/visitorinfo.php?pageid=54.
