67th Annual Young Canada Week Tournament
Fri Mar 18, 2016 10:08 AM - Sun Mar 20, 2016, 12:08 PM
Location: Goderich
ATTENTION: YCW Coaches, Parents and Spectators!!!!
The Goderich Lions Club is proud to host the Annual Young Canada Week Pee Wee
hockey tournament. Since its inception back in 1950, the main intention of the
tournament was to provide a venue for kids to come to Goderich and safely enjoy
the great game of hockey. This continues to be the main goal of the tournament.
Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that some coaches, parents and
spectators are not sharing this goal with us. We recognize that winning is an
objective of team sports. However, the main goal is to let the kids safely play
hockey. No child should fear being targeted by another team to the point that he or
she does not want to participate.
We also recognize there are situations where we do not agree with the call on the
ice. We can assure you that all our referees are certified either by the OMHA or the
OWHA and, as such, bring with them the rules and integrity of the game. Through
our referee-in-chief, we will do our best to provide the highest quality refereeing
possible.
We will do our part to ensure the kids come first! We ask that all coaches, parents
and spectators in general conduct themselves appropriately.
This week is for the kids to safely enjoy the great game of hockey. Let’s let them
have their fun.
Thank you.
Goderich Lions
