RCMP Western Hockey Tournament

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Western Hockey Tournament celebrated it's 40th anniversary this past week in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  Teams from K Division (Alberta), F Division (Saskatchewan) and D Division (Manitoba) participated in the tournament.
 
And to mark help celebrate 40 years of hockey the RCMP invited women of the RCMP to enter a team for the first time.  The team was made up of RCMP members joined by Winnipeg Police Service, Manitoba Youth Center, and Canadian Boarder Services officers to round out the roster.
 
 
 
 
Inspector Joanne Keeping (Number 4 In photo below) looks on as women play the team from K Division.  You may recall that Joanne was an IAWP Bullet when the team played during the 2006 IAWP conference.
