On March 21, the people of Déline brought "the world" to Great Bear Lake - or at least some high-profile hockey players. The community built a rink just off its shoreline to host the Alumni All-Star Winter Classic, along with tents for guests to stay in. With no permanent roads into Déline, players and spectators drove in and out on the ice road or landed on Great Bear Lake on chartered planes. There was a lot of pressure on the ice - literally and figuratively.
The Winter Classic required all hands on deck, and that included Kheyrollah Pour. In the weeks leading up to the event, she mapped out the rink site to ensure the ice was thick enough.
