What Sets This Tournament Apart:
A well-respected charity tournament run by a non-profit Search and Rescue organization benefitting a local charity every year. A fantastic opportunity to play a fast-paced pond hockey game with hockey fanatics, while giving back to the local community.
Third Assist's Take:
The local ones are some of the best. This is a smaller scale tournament, but they’re open for new teams to join in. With all proceeds going to local charities this is a good competitive time, but ultimately the tournament is there for fun and a good cause. Lake Scugog is only about one hour from Toronto proper which means this tournament makes for a prime occasion for hockey’s weekend warriors. Check out the links below to learn more and get involved.
