In a tradition that dates back to the first season of the Drumheller Dragons, an off ice official is awarded for their commitment. Russ Gill has also been volunteering since the Drumheller Dragons first season, and according to off ice official coordinator Barry Pozzo, he has hardly missed a handful of games in his seven years with the team.

Come and join in the fun with The Harlem Crowns

How is the Drumheller Composite High School (DCHS) senior boys basketball team feeling right now? “Pretty excited!” attests Jeff Messom, team coach. And for a good reason: they are playing against the world famous travelers known as The Harlem Crowns in the New Year. The game the Crowns like to call “clownball” will be played at the DCHS gymnasium on January 14 at 7 p.m..
       The Harlem Crowns were formed by former Harlem Globetrotter Stan “Chico” Burrell in the mid-50s and are currently managed by Herb Scaife, who promotes discipline to achieve rewards. The team is composed of highly talented basketball players, from veterans to the one-year men, and of course, the rookies: new players trying out for the team.  In keeping with The Harlem Globetrotters’ image, players have showmanship in them.
