Welcome to the 2024 BVRA Annual Pre-Season Tournament. This tournament provides teams with the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season while promoting sportsmanship, team bonding, and of course FUN! This is our largest tournament to date, 55 teams spanning 4 rinks and approximately 750 athletes from Manitoba and Saskatchewan will take to the ice and compete in 10 divisional loops. We’d like to welcomeall our out-of-town teams, it’s great to have you take part in the excitement. We could not have offered a tournament of this scale without the work and dedication of our sponsors, tournament planning committee, and volunteers that help to makeeverything run smoothly and of course you, the athletes.
On the ice, in addition to the tournament games, we’re always excited to announce 3 feature games that are free for everyone toattend on Saturday Oct 19th at Dakota. Bring your teams out to cheer loudly!
Not only is there amazing ringette on the ice, but off the ice on the main floor and second floor banquet hall, we have manyactivities including:
All money raised from the BVRA pre-season tournament goes back to the BVRA Ringette Association. Our funding goes towards program development, provincial and national player assistance, scholarship programs, athlete funding support, team and goalie equipment, coach training, special events and much more.
Lastly, I’d like to extend a thank you to the members of the tournament planning committee. Without your tireless efforts, hard work, and some tears this tournament couldn’t have happened (especially our scheduler Tara Gilkes). Thank you!
