We've received an announcement about an exciting international tournament next March:
Special Hockey International 2013 Tournament - Kitchener
In Kitchener,Ontario, Canada we are working diligently to plan what we hope will be one of the "The Best Ever" Special Hockey International tournaments. Dates - the 2013 tournament will be held Tuesday March 12 to Saturday March 16, with Sunday March 17 provided as a weekend travel day for those teams that are travelling a distance to participate.
In many of Ontario communities, this is the week of "March break".
Host Team - the host team is the Kitchener Ice Pirates, a Special Hockey International team that is affiliated with Kitchener Minor Hockey Association, the host organization for the 2013 tournament.

Our secondary facility, to be used as required for scheduling purposes is the Activa Sports Complex that has two ice pads - the Patrick J. Doherty Rink and the KMHA Alumni Association rink.
