Our Pond Hockey Tournament began in 2009. It has become, in many ways, a staple event in our winter season here at Camp Evergreen. From plus 5 degrees weather to minus 25 - our Pond Hockey athletes have shown up year after year to play, skate, and fundraise for Camp. We can't wait have teams out again for another tournament this year!
Our Pond Hockey Day is an amazing day: it's competitive, friendly, and good wholesome fun. Bring your family to cheer you on! We run a Kids Mini Game and Free Skates in the afternoon so don't forget your skates!
Our goal at Evergreen is to draw kids, youth and families to Christ; this tournament supports that exciting, valuable ministry! Please consider partnering with us by participating in this tournament.
We will also have some cool items in our Silent Auction for those who would like to participate without lacing up their skates.
WHO ARE WE?
CAMP EVERGREEN is a not-for-profit year-round camp 14 kilometres south of Sundre, Alberta. We exist to share the good news of Jesus with everyone who sets foot on our site! We offer week-long sleep away camps for kids aged 6-17 in July and August each year. In the spring, fall and winter, our camp is open to guest groups. We also run several annual retreats and family camps, featuring speakers, worship and lots of fun!
I'M A PLAYER
We want you to raise money! Play hockey! Have fun! Score goals! This is a huge fundraiser for us! We have space for up to twelve teams in the tournament, so register before it's too late!
Teams can be made up of four or more players, men or women ... but all players need to be at least 16 years of age and everyone needs to wear a helmet. Our teams from last year would probably recommend that you aim to have five able bodies on your roster. Skill is not required as we hope to have both a competitive and recreational division.
I'M A SPECTATOR
Spectators are FREE. Yep - you read that right, FREE. You still get lunch, supper, and some activities if you choose to participate. Don't forget your wallets for the silent auction and draws. Please register as a spectator (and your kids) so we can prepare the food for the day. Register as a spectator here.
I'M A KID
Come on out, watch hockey, go sledding, bid in the kids auction, play in our kids mini competition and lace up for free skate.
WHEN IS THE EVENT
January 13, 2024. Teams should be registered by January 1st, 2024. Check In on Tournament Day will start at 8:30am.
WHERE
We build our rinks right here at Camp Evergreen. You'll play among the trees, snow and moose.
WHY
Camp Evergreen's Three-on-Three Pond Hockey Tournament raises funds for our Campership Aid program. The campership AId program allows kids who to come to camp who aren't able to afford the cost of camp otherwise. This year, we're setting that goal for $40,000!
HOW
Team captains will be responsible for filling out their roster and should confirm that they will be able to field a team by January 1st, 2024.
The recommended Entry Donation is $1000 (that's a mere $250 per player for teams of four or $200 per player for teams of five). Teams are encouraged to fundraise as much as possible. To comply with CRA, there is a $20/player non-receiptable fee. There is no limit for players on a team.
SILENT AUCTION
