I 10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, March 23,1994 Ry_Brad ^eUv-' Popular 3 on 3 Basketball Tourney Returns May 6-7 It was three years ago, while lazing around on the couch watching the March Madness of college basketball transpire, that the idea of bringing a similar tournament to this area was conceived. Hence, the birth of our very own Canadian Statesman 3 on 3 Basket: ball Tournament. The idea was two-fold. One, it was designed to give the youth of our area something to participate in that would be both fun and competitive. Two, it helped to increase our exposure in the community. On both accounts, the tournament was a huge success. Over 140 kids participated in that first-ever tournament. The event even received an award from the Ontario Community Newspaper Association. We put our collective heads together and operated one again the following following year. As it turned out, last year's tournament was even better than the first. Registration numbers were up, and because of space limitations, we had to turn some teams away. A pattern is certainly developing here, and this year is no exception. We are pleased to once again offer our much-heralded 3 on 3 Basketball Basketball Tournament. The dates for this year's two-day event will be Friday, May 6 and Saturday, Saturday, May 7, with the venue unchanged from the previous two years. Bowmanville High School will again serve as the headquarters for our third annual tournament. The format of the tournament will remain unchanged from the previous previous two, as kids aged 10-18 are eligible to participate. Age divisions have been assigned as follows: 10-12,13-15, and 16-18. There is both a boys' and girls' division for each age category. Teams are guaranteed three games, with trophies being awarded to the 'A' and 'B' division champions, and medallions to the 'C' and 'D' winners. winners. We are in the midst of putting together a registration package for each participant. Included is a commemorative tank top. And, if we continue to get the support that we have in the past from local businesses, a couple of coupons will also be included. As well, refreshments will be available for the entire weekend for the competitors. If the previous two years are any indication, these kids can sure put away a lot of liquid. The tournament will likely get under way at 6:00 p.m. on Friday evening, evening, and continue through until 10:00 p.m. Saturday will open with games around 9:00 a.m., with the whole tournament coming to a close around 5:00 p.m. The only aspect of the tournament that we are being forced to change is the registration fee. Because of increasing costs, we've had to up the fee to $50 per team this year, which is an increase of only $10. Though we aren't pleased with the increase, we will continue in our pursuit to provide the kids with value for their dollar. To make it as easy as possible for those interested in participating, a registration form is included in today's sport pages. The deadline for registrations registrations is April 20, and we encourage teams to sign up as early as possible possible to avoid being left out. Girls' Hockey League is Proposed for Clarington The Ontario Women's Hockey Association is pleased to announce that we will be co-hosting an Information Information meeting with a local group of hockeÿ enthusiasts interested in forming a girls hockey association in Clarington. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 29, 1994, 7:00 p.m., at the Bowmanville High School. The purpose of the meeting is to introduce our sport to the parents parents and girls of your community, answer answer their questions and establish a local steering committee to guide and nurture the growth of female hockey in Clarington. We have found these meetings to be very successful in the past and they have led to the formation formation of many strong organizations all across Ontario. This season the OWHA has seen an astounding 30% increase in registered registered teams. There are now over 530 teams (house league and competitive) playing all across Ontario. Players arc competing in local leagues, in over 50 sanctioned tournaments across our province and through regional regional playdowns vying for the right to challenge for a Provincial Championship Championship for their home towns. Ontario girls also participate in the Ontario Winter Games and Canada Winter Games. This April, Canada will defend defend their gold medal at the 3rd Women's World Championship in Lake Placid, New York. Ontario has proudly placed nine players on the 1994 National Women's team. At all levels of our game we stress good sportsmanship, fair play and FUN! The Ontario Women's Hockey Association is governed by CAHA rules, with no intentional body checking checking in all divisions (novice, atom, peewee, bantam, midget, intermediate intermediate and senior). Players wear standard standard hockey equipment including hockey skates. Female hockey is one of the fastest fastest growing sports in Canada and young Canadian girls can also, now look forward to the Canadian National National Women's team competing for Olympic gold medals beginning at the Winter Games in 1998. We hope this meeting is the start of many years of exciting girls hockey hockey to be played in Clarington.
