In the midst of a cross Canada tour, NHL Alumni member Peter Ing and the Canadian Tire NHL Junior Skills Competition arrived in Ottawa on November 25th at the Nepean Sportsplex. The Canadian Tire NHL Junior Skills events are open to children from the ages of 7 to 12 and provide the opportunity for the participants to test their skills in four events - shooting accuracy, passing accuracy, timed skating and puck control.

Using the innovative XHockey products from Peter’s company, Fan-tastic Sports, the young hockey players are able to track their scores online and see how they compare with other young Canadian hockey players. Those with the best scores in the qualifying events from each city will be invited to Ottawa during the NHL’s All-Star weekend to compete in the grand finale. With stops in 15 Canadian cities, the events will have brought Peter from Vancouver (on October 7th) all the way to St. John’s, Newfoundland (on December 16th) and everywhere in between.
