The Fort Frances Lakers junior A hockey club was seeking more immediate help from town council last night.
Board chair Milt Strachan says among the things as a reduction in fees paid for ice time for practices during the morning hours.
"This is a dead ice-time," says Strachan. " In other words this ice-time that wouldn't be used if there wasn't a junior hockey club."
Strachan says they'd also like the opportunity to run their own hockey school and share of concession revenues obtained during Laker games.
