I was at the games this year as it was in Halifax. Russ Anber actually showed up for the gold medal games and did a piece in the ring on why we have to keep boxing in the games. Sad to see that will probably not occur despite the sell out crowd.

as a shock for many. But, not having boxing in Prince George is like not having
music for the season end Grad Dance for the high school grads.

Prince George is one of, if not, the best boxing locations in British Columbia.
Now isn't that a kick in the head when your down on your knees trying to
climb back up.

For BC Boxing it is one step forward and three steps back what with no boxing in the annual BC Winter Games. Also, the lack of boxing in the Northern Winter
Games has killed boxing in the Northern town of Terrace. Once an important place
for activity with the places like Prince Rupers. And it seems the sport in Prince Rupert
is down and out with the passing away of the likes of DICK ST. LOUIS.
