The 2016 Murray Johnson Annual Local League Tournament is set to take place November 24th-27th. There is currently room in all divisions.
For more info please contact
Doug HallOur L.L. Tournament has become a very popular event for a few reasons:
-The weather usually is a non issue for travel
-It doesn't interfere with the holiday season
-It is reasonably priced and the format is well received
-No Gate Fees !
Here is how it works:
The cost is $625. It is a 3 game tournament.
All teams play 3 games ...no more.. no less.
The emphasis is on friendship with a little competition thrown in.
Your first two round robin games seed your team for the final game. All teams then play in a championship (third) game on Sunday in either A, B, C or D Division and it will be against a similarly seeded team. Last year in the championship games, 2 went into overtime and all other games except one game were won by one goal. The other game was a 3 goal differential.
Win or lose, all participants leave the tournament with the same prizes.
Included in the price, all teams are treated to a pizza party at the recreation centre above the arena.
When you have the party is entirely up to your team...whatever works. Many teams make the pizza party a family affair by bringing additional food and drink with the option as well to order extra pizza.
For those teams that require accommodations, we have rooms reserved at the Best Western Hotel in Brantford under Hagersville Minor Hockey.
Special consideration around game scheduling is available to teams coming in from a distance.
If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to ask.
Thank You
Doug Hall
