Ten teams have registered for Hockey Now’s First Annual Spring Hockey Tournament, in the first two weeks since the announcement was made.
The tournament will be held at Surrey’s Fleetwood arenas on the Easter Long Weekend, April 2 to 5, 2010. The tournament is open to 2003 to 1998 birth years.
Hockey Now publisher Don McIntosh says he is pleased with progress to date.
“We were a bit behind on getting our springblast.ca website up and running, but it’s activated now, so we expect registrations to accelerate over the next few weeks,” he said. “We’re now in touch with a lot of multi-team organizations and I’m pleased to announce that Kevin Farren, head of Young Guns Hockey – one of the leading spring hockey organizations – is going to be involved with us as an advisor.
“Kevin has a lot of experience with both spring hockey, competitive AAA hockey, and with organizing tournaments,” said McIntosh. “He’ll be a key part of the tournament committee and help ensure that everything runs smoothly.”
The tournament will kick off the spring hockey season, which runs from April through June. Teams are guaranteed four games.
