Moncton - The 14th annual Moncton Wildcats Skills Competition hosted by the Petitcodiac Arena attracted an estimated crowd of 1000 youth and adults with many wearing their colorful Petitcodiac minor hockey jerseys.

Honorary Captains for the event, long time community volunteers Stu Lutz (team red) and Gordon Crossman (team white) then prepared the Wildcats for team competitions that included; fastest skaters; hardest shooter; rapid fire, shooting accuracy and a break away relay.
