The Okotoks Bow Mark AAA Midget Oilers had quite the warmup last night.

They hosted the Russia's AK Bars Academy just three days before the Mac's Midget Tournament.

The Russian team didn't hold back, managing to edge Okotoks out by a score of 2-1.

The charity match was in benefit of the Okotoks Food Bank, with non-perishable food donation taken as part of admission.

On December 26th, the Bow Mark Oilers twenty four other teams will commence with the Mac's AAA Midget Hockey Tournament.

Their first game is at 12:45pm against the Okanagan Rockets at the Max Bell Centre on Boxing Day.
