The Aboriginal Sports Circle, Canada’s national voice for Aboriginal sport and recreation, is pleased to announce that Kahnawake has been selected to host the 2006 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships. These Championships took place from April 30 to May 6, 2006 and provide a forum for elite Bantam/Midget aged Aboriginal hockey players. The Event will attract participation from First Nations, Inuit, and Métis athletes, coaches, and sport leaders.

One of the main goals of this competition is to serve as the impetus for grassroots and regional Aboriginal hockey development across Canada. The event helps to foster unity and pride and celebrate the athletic abilities of Aboriginal athletes from across the country. This event is unlike other hockey championships as it offers a unique blend of high performance competition in a strong, supportive cultural environment.

GoldenPalace.com is pleased to participate in these Championships as a sponsor of the event.
