squatted 260 pounds.
There was also camara-
derie among the lifters.
“A kid from Scappoose
had 475 (pounds) on the
squat rack and everyone
stopped to watch him and
cheer him on,” Reeser said.
“It was a great day. So many
great things happened.”

fourth grader said. “It’s not
something our small town
gets to do. Playing in a diff er-
ent area, diff erent conditions
(indoor) and against some-
one other than our team
members.”
The players will also have
locker rooms to change in,
there will be a scoreboard
and the sights and sounds of a
regular indoor hockey game.
A standard sheet of hockey
ice is 200 feet long and 85 feet
wide. While 10U teams typi-
cally play on a half sheet of
ice, the width will be diff erent
for the Pendleton team, which
is used to playing on a sheet
of ice that is 96 feet long and
56 feet wide. It also will be
the fi rst time for some of the
Rough Riders to play in an
indoor rink.
“I asked the kids a couple
of days ago how many have
played on an indoor sheet
of ice,” Kelty said. “Half of
them raised their hands. For

and fans, the kids are beside
themselves. The parents have
jumped on board. They are
excited for them to play in a
real arena and against a real
team.”
The Rough Riders will
take 12 players to Kent — one
goalie and three lines. They
will play against the Kent
Valley Hurricanes and the
Kent Valley Tornadoes.
To prepare for their
games in Kent, the Rough
Riders have made two trips
to the Hapo Ice Arena in
Pasco for practice.
“Old West Federal Credit
Union (Pendleton) sponsored
us, and helped pay for the ice
in Pasco,” Kelty said. “We
couldn’t have done it without
Old West. We are very grate-
ful to them.”
The Rough Riders are
part of Pendleton Ice Sports,
which is a nonprofi t orga-
nization. The players’ fees
($125) are kept to a minimum
— just enough to pay for the
ice in the park and equip-
ment, which is provided.
They even have a Zamboni.
“We started in 2007,”
Pendleton Ice Sports presi-
dent John Bieker said. “The
first year we had maybe
eight players, now we have
62. We run four different
levels. In 2014-15, we added
a high school level. We used
to play in Walla Walla once
a year, but the last year we
were able to go over there
was 2014. It has been a really
good program. Everyone is
just appreciative of what we
have.”
The program has players
from Pendleton, Hermiston,
Cove and Milton-Freewater.
“We represent the whole
region,” Kelty said. “I hope
that continues to grow.”
