A message from the Tournament Chair
Welcome to the 2023 BVRA Annual Pre-Season Tournament, we are thrilled to have you be a part of our event. 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, 47 teams and approximately 650 athletes from Manitoba and Saskatchewan will take to the ice and compete in 10divisional loops. We’d like to welcome all our out-of-town teams, it’s great to have you take part of 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 make everything 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 to attend on Saturday Oct 21st. Bring your teams out a cheer loudly!
Not only is there amazing ringette on the ice, but off the ice we have many activities including:
All money raised from the BVRA pre-season tournament goes back to theBVRA 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. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Levon Kearney
