The FuTure Faces OF NOrTherN hOckey

Inuvik Minor Hockey Association hosts its 10th Gwich’in Cup Tournament.

In the last 10 years the Gwich’in Cup Tournament has welcomed all children in the Delta to the tournament. When a small community does not have enough young players to make a team the tournament will take individual children and put them on a team. The Tournament also optimizes the time that young players get on the ice. The tournament has no Mercy Rule. Even if there is more than a 10-point advantage, the game does not end early. At the end of the day the Tournament just wants the children to play. Its minor hockey, “Delta style”!∞
