Great North Midget Hockey League will be a featured attraction in Sault Ste. Marie this weekend with the Timmins Majors in town for a troika of tests.
Timmins will play the Soo Greyhounds tonight in a slated 8:30 p.m. start at the Essar Centre and again on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. at John Rhodes Community Centre.
In between, Timmins will face off against the Soo Thunderbirds on Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m. at the Rhodes Centre.
