StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Markham, ON ~January 10, 2012 ~ Markham’s annual Tony Roman Memorial Hockey Tournament, starts with an official puck drop at Thornhill Community Centre on Saturday, January 14 and runs to Sunday, January 22.
"We have been proudly carrying on this tradition for the past 39 years. It is a wonderful tribute to our late Mayor, Tony Roman, who contributed so much to our community. Tony loved hockey and our community has always provided tremendous support to continue this legacy," said Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti. "These games give young hockey enthusiasts an opportunity to experience the thrill of playing tournament hockey, as they come together in the spirit of friendly competition and community pride.”
“It’s always such a thrill to see these young athletes play in what, for many, is their first tournament. During the nine days of hockey, Markham players compete on ice surfaces in eight community centres – Angus Glen, Centennial, R.J. Clatworthy, Crosby, Milliken Mills, Mount Joy, Markham Village, and Thornhill. We want to thank our three minor hockey associations, Markham, our corporate partners and the many volunteers who support this extraordinary event,” said Honorary Tournament Chair Regional Councillor Gordon Landon.
This year’s competition features over 2,000 young hockey players – from Mini Mite (age 4) to Juvenile (age 20) – on 143 local teams participating in 258 games at eight Markham arenas. Known as the world’s largest house league hockey competition, it’s a great opportunity to see some of Markham’s up-and-coming hockey talent in action.
Established as the ‘Mayor’s Cup’ competition by former Markham Mayor Anthony Roman, the Tony Roman Memorial Hockey Tournament was renamed in his honour following his death in 1992.
Games are played in Markham’s arenas and are free of charge. To view game schedules and locations visit www.tchl.org/tr.
