LANTZ:<\/strong> A young hockey player gone to soon continues to be remembered and honoured every holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends of Braeden Bannister and those who knew him always jump at the opportunity to lace up the skates and hit the ice at the Keith Miller Arena in the East Hants Sportsplex in Lantz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The players come together to have a scrimmage game of the sport they love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And fittingly on this night the final score was 22-16, with 22 being the jersey number Braeden wore with the East Hants Minor Hockey Association. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
