Calgary Oilpatch Hockey Tournament for Cancervive
April 14-15, 2018, at the Twin Arenas in Calgary, AB.
UPDATE: Thanks to the players, organizers, fans, and sponsors of the 2018 event. Thanks to you the tournament raised $11,000 for Cancervive! We can’t thank you enough for your generosity, dedication, and hard work.
For the past 6 years a group of oil and gas professionals have been hitting the ice in support of Cancervive & Wellspring. This fun, no-winner hockey tournament attracts players of all levels from all corners of the oil business. The hockey play is at a competitive level but always stays good-natured and fun. The players are serious about the spirit of the game and the reason they play in the tournament; cancer has touched many of their lives. The Oilpatch’s generosity shows every year; they’ve raised $70,000 for use in the past 6 years!
