Atikokan needs your help to be Hockeyville 2007!!!

Atikokan finished in the Top 10 last year Hockeyville with the help of the Mayor (my dad) and Liberal MP Ken Boshcoff they want to changed that this year BUT we need your help !!! Incidentally when you watch the video (scroll down the Hockeyville website on the right until you find Atikokan's Video) the second male adult skater in the Green and Gold Atikokan Voyageurs sweater with black helmet and visor is in fact the Mayor still playing hockey at his age (well over 60)!!!
