The event, held last weekend at the twin arenas, drew teams from
around Western Canada and even two squads from San Jose, Calif.
"It was a really good tournament," NHL member Judy Zaychkowski
said. "It seemed like everybody had a lot of fun."
For some of the players from south of the border, the annual event
is the favourite tournament of the year.
"This is our most popular tournament," said Mary Collins, of the
San Jose Valenti Rebels, who have participated in the Airdrie
event for three years. "Everyone likes this one the best."
For Collins, 45, who only began ice skating a few years ago,
playing hockey has provided great camaraderie, as well as
exercise and friendly competition.
"It's a lot of fun," she said.
"The Rebels are also a really good group of people."
