For the fourth time in the last 5 years our Ice Ninjas hockey team has hosted a charity hockey tournament.
After taking a year off last year, due to our usual rink being refurbished, we came back with a few changes to our standard tournament structure: We moved rinks from New Sarepta to Josephburg, and changed our main charity from the Stollery to supporting research into Rett syndrome. Nothing against the Stollery (it's a great hospital) but one of our teammates has a special connection to Rett syndrome and as a relatively newly diagnosed disease it can use as much support in awareness and research as possible.
The tournament ended up being quite a success with our team raising approximately $10,000 for charity.
