We are the SW Cougars U18 Body Contact - Tier 2 team from Calgary, AB and are hosting a 4 team - 4 game tournament in Calgary.
When the kids were young, we never thought this time in our child's hockey career would come but it has. As these young people enter their last years in community hockey, it is our hope that we can help make the end as memorable as the beginning when they were little. We hope you find the events listed below favourable and decide to join us.
**Please note we are hosting this in conjunction with the U18 BC Tier 3 team. If your association has both tiers please consider applying for both tournaments. We are hosting this with the tier 2 team because many of our boys have played together for years and this way, although they are not on the same team they can celebrate their last skate on the ice with all their friends.
Managers and coaches, this is the easiest tournament you have ever attended. We hosted 2 tournaments last year and can provide references from those teams if required.
