The female midget Central Plains Capitals are on the road for some exhibition action this weekend.

The Caps first face the Regina Rebels in Deloraine this afternoon, then finish the weekend with a match against the Weyburn GoldWings in Hartney Sunday afternoon.

"It was supposed to be a tournament in Winnipeg run by the Futures Hockey Group that runs the Shaftesbury Prep team," says head coach Ferdi Nelissen. "They couldn't ice a team though, and felt Hockey MB took too long to get them sanctioned, so the tournament was right out cancelled. There was a void left and we've decided to fill it, which is a bonus for us."

Today's game starts at four, tomorrow's goes at two.
