Friendly Neighbourhood Youth Road Hockey Challenge
Thank you for your interest
in the 2014 Friendly Neighbourhood Youth Road Hockey Challenge – Ontario’s longest running annual shinny tourney - now
in the 10th anniversary year.
The FNYRHC was originally started in a
mixed income neighbourhood to engage the youth and expanded over the years to be inclusive to everyone with no
cost to players.
For some the tourney is the only organized
sport they will ever play.
Youths of any gender form their neighbourhood or group teams & enter in
advance, then practice during March Break up to the Sat ending
tourney. Participants are also fed, and entertained and the winning team gets
their name on the Mulock Cup trophy.
The tourney selects
one player, deemed a leader in the community, The Mike Thornhill Scholarship Award
– in memory of a local youth killed by violence.
For 2014 we’d like to add a new, younger, age category for
kids up to 12 as well as an award for a kid to play ice hockey - with equipment
and registration taken care of.
The F.N.Y.R.H. Challenge includes up to 12 teams per
category, up to 10 players per team in round robin format, ages up to 18 years inclusive as of Dec 31 2014.
All ages pick-up games also are held.
There are a number of interactive additions planned and some
activities coordinated with the local businesses, including the Opening
Face-off Party held the Friday night before to raise additional funds
and thank the sponsors and volunteers.
