Teams from Kamloops, Salmon Arm and Chilliwack are coming to town for an annual 100 Mile Old Stars Hockey Tournament.
The men’s tournament will see teams from three divisions – 35-plus, 45-plus and 55-plus – take the ice at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre from Nov. 15 to 17.
A ladies tournament, organized by the South Cariboo Female Hockey League, is taking place simultaneously in at Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena in Lac la Hache.
100 Mile Old Stars Hockey Tournament organizer Shawn Reid says the tourney has been successful for many years.
“The idea is to bring teams in from outside the area just to have some fun and play some hockey. There are teams that have come back for years and years.”
Fourteen teams are expected to compete. Reid plays on the Old Stars 35-plus team.
“We’ve always been competitive in our age group and we’ve got a bunch of guys from around the area who are good hockey players.
“We just like to get out there and have some fun. It’s always nice to win, but winning isn’t what it’s all about.”
