Beginning Friday, the Can/Am adults men’s hockey tournament will be at the South Okanagan Events Centre.
Can/Am Hockey launched its first summer hockey program in 1969. Throughout the ‘70s, Can/Am continued to run programs, becoming the leader in youth and adult hockey training camps and tournaments. On their website, Can/Am say their philosophy is simple: create the most memorable experiences that any hockey player can enjoy and infuse our camps and tournaments with our passion for hockey. They want their name to represent the gold standard for youth and adult hockey camps and tournaments. The first youth event started with 12 teams during one weekend in Lake Placid, NY. Over the next 20-plus years, the youth tournaments expanded to provide over 600 youth teams with their 26,000-plus players, parents, and family members the greatest tournament experience in all of hockey. All the action wraps up at the SOEC on Sunday.
