You don’t have to be a youngster to play good hockey, as proven by 11 teams that came together for the annual Cariboo Old Cats Old Timers Hockey Tournament at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, Jan. 18-20.
The annual tournament featured Over 35, Over 45 and Recreational divisions, and all three were well represented.
The round-robin style tourney saw the 100 Mile Old Stars win the Over 45 division with three consecutive wins.
The Over 35 division saw Sanford Hornets and 100 Mile Molson Canadians tie for the top spot.
Results for the Recreational division were not available at press time.
Tournament co-ordinator Shawn Meville says the weekend was pretty low-key, with nearly all of the players either living in the South Cariboo or having lived here at some time.
“It’s mostly just about playing hockey and getting reconnected with people and enjoying the weekend. All of the teams except the Valley Blues have a connection to 100 Mile House.”
The tournament has been going on for at least 16 years.
