6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. - "SICK SHOT" Organized Ball Hockey Games in memory of Josh Olynyk.

Josh was a former Owen Sound Minor Hockey Group player and passed away from cancer in 2009. 

The name of the tournament; Sick Shot, came from Josh's last words before he died.  His father, Craig, has also had that phrase tattooed onto one of his arms in honour of his son.  "He repeated it three times very specifically and we didn't know what it meant", said Lucia.  "All we can figure is that he was thinking about hockey.  And you know how kids say sick instead of sweet (or good).  Josh, as a little kid anyway, had a reputation of having a sick shot."

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

Registration closes Friday, November 8.

Games will occur on 2nd Ave East between 8th and 9th Street after the parade during "HOLIDAY MAGIC." Teams of 4 (1 goalie, 3 players) can sign up. Each player must sign up individually but please include your team name on the form so we can properly assign you to play together.

2nd Ave will host the U7, U8, U9, U10, U11, U12 recreational games. Parent volunteers are needed to help referee games. 

"SCOTIABANK" will serve as a warming centre with hot chocolate and treats for the kids.
