Why:

Why Not!

How:

 

We accept 35+ aged entrants into the tournament, as 'individuals' only: we don't accept full teams.

We 'rate' each individual entrant and then 'blend' ('draft') the entrants equally, across the 8 tournament teams (to keep the teams 'even' and the games competitive).
Note: If extra entrants are required, we may allow 19+ aged entrants into the tournament (see the Important Tournament Dates / Deadlines, for more info). 

 

'Buddy' Requests:

 

"I'll play in the tournament as long as I can be on the same team as Bobby."

Sorry, but due to the horrendous logistics of trying to fulfill 'buddy' requests, while maintaining 'balanced' teams, we don't accept any 'buddy' requests.

If you don't get placed on the same team, as your 'bromance,' don't worry.  The games are played 'back to back' (time-wise) and are played on 'side by side' ice surfaces, so you won't be apart for long.  You'll see each other either 'on the ice' or at the 'bar' upstairs, after the games.

Trust me - it's fun to play against your buds.  They think twice about trying that 'dirty dangle' against you - you know their all 'sweet' moves!!

 

Arena Amenities:

We have a licensed social 'gathering' room upstairs, at Crowchild Twin Arena, great for pre-game warm-ups and for post-game celebrations.

We offer light munchies, you can watch sports on the tube, shoot the sh_t, and enjoy 'Toonie' brews (we operate the bar nearly 'at cost' but the young bartenders gratefully accept 'tips').

Our Friday night 'post-game' session tends to run later than Saturday night's but the room is open all weekend.  Nothing fancy, just a place to gather, lick your wounds, or brag about that 'move' you made.

Tournament games, on both ice surfaces, can be viewed, in heated comfort, from upstairs, at Crowchild Twin Arena.

 

Teams:

 

Group A:

CANADA                 RUSSIA                 SWEDEN               FINLAND

  TM

 

Group B:

AUSTRALIA                    IRELAND                    SPAIN                        ITALY

        

 

Entrant
Sign Up:

"I'm in.  How do I sign up?"

PREVIOUS entrant: If you played in the tournament LAST YEAR, please first contact the Tournament Organizer who signed you up LAST YEAR (no, this isn't 'multi-level' marketing).  We should still have your info 'on file.'

If your LAST YEAR Tournament Organizer is no longer available (as per the list below) OR you have been directed by your LAST YEAR's Tournament Organizer to do so, please fill out the Tournament Application Form (below).  Please enter your LAST YEAR's Tournament Organizer in the "Who is your TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER..." field.

NEW entrant: If you DID NOT play in the tournament LAST YEAR, please fill out the Tournament Application Form (below).
If you ARE connected (through any hockey groups) with any of our Tournament Organizers, please enter that Tournament Organizer in the "Who is your TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER..." field.
If you ARE NOT connected (through any hockey groups) with any of our Tournament Organizers, please enter 'NEW entrant' in the "Who is your TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER..." field.  An appropriate Tournament Organizer will be assigned to you.

For both PREVIOUS and NEW entrants, our Tournament General Contact may contact you, to verify any details.

 

Entry Fee / 
Payment:

 

$70.00 per player
(goalies don't pay the Entry Fee)

Includes 4 games @ 1 hour & 15 minutes each (with referees, Timekeeper/Scorekeeper), jersey/socks rental, a beverage or two!
Cheap at twice the price!

Once we've made sure there is room for you (in this year's tournament), one of our Tournament Organizers will contact you, to give you confirmation that you are 'IN' the tournament.  For both PREVIOUS and NEW entrants, you will be given direction as to which Tournament Organizer to make your entry fee cheque out to.

If your Tournament Organizer is Dan Herauf, please make out a cheque (NO CASH, PLEASE!), payable to: "Dan Herauf," and deliver/mail it to: 622 Schubert Place NW, Calgary, Alberta  T3L 1X4, as soon as possible.

If the cheque is not in your name (e.g. in wife's name or is a company cheque), please indicate which entrant/entrants the cheque is for.  Any bank charges (for any cheques that 'bounce') will be charged back to the appropriate entrant PLUS a CTAOT $50.00 service fee (for the freakin' royal run-around effort to clear the cheque).

First come, first serve - your cheque guarantees your spot - no cheque, no play - sorry.  Get your money in early, will fill up fast!  This applies to 'PREVIOUS entrants' and to 'NEW entrants.'  We don't take 'reservations' and we do keep a 'waiting list' (you can be replaced).

Cheques WILL be returned, to those who don't get in (when 'SOLD OUT').  Please see our 'Cancellation Deadline' for entrants who 'drop out' of the tournament.

'Rough stuff' WILL NOT be tolerated.
