U7 Tigers Tournament

The U7 Vermilion Tigers hosted eight teams during their home tournament February 3-4. Four teams were from Vermilion, and the others were from Mannville, Bonnyville, Vegreville, and Battle River (Sedgewick/Killam).

Each team played three games, and one of four tournament coordinators, Kaitlyn MacKinnon, said at this age they don’t keep score, but just have fun and play.

“These children go and give it their all every time they hit the ice; honestly, I think you see the most heart for hockey at this age. Because they put everything they have out there, and they also like waving at the stands, it’s kind of fun to watch,” said MacKinnon.

She felt it’s important to let children try hockey or another activity so they can try to find a passion. It’s also a big social thing for the children, she said. McKinnon thanked the teams for their support, the officials, as well as the parents who she said are obviously a big part of it. She went on to thank the community and said they had a lot of great sponsorship and people’s support that way as well.

“The only way to run a successful tournament is with everyone’s help,” said MacKinnon.
