It's hard to believe that 5 years ago I thought it was a good idea to cancel league games before Thanksgiving since it was a holiday and I didn't believe there would be much attendance. Scott Anderson called me and said "What the $@#& are you doing cancelling league games the Wednesday before Thanksgiving? That's the best day to play hockey." The rest is history with the Annual 3 on 3 Turkey Tourney being created.
This year, the small twist is we are playing the Friday AFTER Thanksgiving. What better day to play some hockey? You just ate too much food, watched too much football and saw too much family the day before, and now you want burn some calories. So as your spouse, girlfriend or significant other leaves your place at 4 AM headed to Bed, Bath & Beyond for that Early Bird $4.99 shower squeegie promo, you sleep in and mentally prepare for some good old-fashioned hockey.
The format has not changed. 6 players per team, 4 games each, 3 on 3 cross-ice format, free pizza and an all around great time. Teams are put together by me to keep things as fair as possible. It also allows you to play with players you normally don't get a chance to play with. Beginner skill levels encouraged to play since this is a laid back atmosphere.
