Mark Messier is her distant cousin, but this Sask. hockey product is carving her own path.
Scottish heritage was alive and well on Saturday at PotashCorp skating plaza in Saskatoon.
Over 100 people embarked on the kilt skate, last year only had 30 people.
“It’s such a fun event to celebrate Scottish culture,” said organizer Jill Sauter.
The event has been going on for three years, which had several events across the country in places like Ottawa, and Montreal.
“We were excited to again participate in the Kilt Skate events to celebrate both Sir John A’s 202nd and Canada’s 150th birthdays,”
