CONWAY — The Conway Yetis now have a team president and a logo. The next step is to put together a roster — players and coaches — and be ready for league play in January.
The Yetis, the final addition to the new 16-team Union Hockey League, will hold the first of two open tryouts for the semi-professional franchise this Friday, Nov. 24, at the Ham Arena at 8:45 p.m.
