A special RMSJ Thank You: Rocky Mountain Show Jumping would like to offer special thanks to our sister city Edmonton, and their Edmonton Oilers. It was getting a little dicey on whether or not the Flames would make it into the playoffs this year. Even after winning at Edmonton during the two teams last meeting of the season, they had not yet secured a playoff position. Thank you Edmonton for beating the Vancouver Canucks last week and therefore putting the Flames into the post season. Since Edmonton is located outside the Bow Valley Classic travel circle, and won't be playing hockey, we thought we would extend the travel bursary to any of the Oilers who might want to visit Calgary and catch a little of the Bow Valley Classic. After last night..Flames 1 Sharks 1.....Looking forward to Sunday!. All in good fun! RMSJ Winter Training Series 2008 Completed: The third and final of the 2008 RMSJ Winter Training Series Hunter tournaments was completed yesterday on Sunday, which also concluded the entire indoor WTS for 2008.
