2017 Spruce Grove Initiation Ice Cap Tournament

To Initiation Parents,

We are very excited to begin planning for our upcoming Spruce Grove Initiation Ice Cap Tournament. If you have not participated before, this tournament is a great time for our players and families. This letter is to provide you with some information regarding the tournament and some things we require from initiation parents to make our tournament successful.

  • The tournament will be held January 13-15 2017
  • All Spruce Grove teams are expected to enter and invite a team of similar skill level.
  • Teams 1-6 and their invites will be split into 3 divisions. Each team will get 3 full ice games plus one playoff game. Teams 7-10 will be split into 2 divisions. Each team will get 3 half ice games and 1 half ice playoff game
  • The tournament is run by a committee composed of parent volunteers from each of our initiation teams.

As you can expect there are many costs to running a tournament and every effort is made by our committee to cover the operating costs and hopefully profit in the end. Any profit made from the tournament is split between the initiation players. The committee is asking the following from each team:

  • Solicit at least $200 of donations in the form of advertising for our program, monetary donations, or merchandise donations for our raffle table or player loot bags. You will be provided with a sponsorship letter for the businesses you approach. Please let your teams committee member know what businesses you approach so we do not approach them twice.
  • Contribute $25 towards a liquor basket that will be raffled off at the tournament.
  • Your team will be expected to fulfill an allotted number of volunteer shifts at the tournament, shifts include, selling 50/50s, score/time keeper, or working the raffle table. This usually works out to 2 shifts per player. If your family is unable to fill these positions your player will not receive any profit made by the tournament.

We are very excited to put on a fun and successful tournament for our players. Please contact your teams committee member or the committee chairperson, Melissa Doiron () if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

2017 Spruce Grove Initiation Ice Cap Tournament Committee
