Battle for Blood Cancer, 3 on 3 Tournament of Hope is an inclusive, co-ed, pond hockey style tournament taking place on Sunday August 28th, 12-6pm at Burnaby 8 Rinks. This volunteer-led initiative seeks to embrace the grassroots nature of pond hockey, providing an exciting, fun and engaging way to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada. We raised $25K last year and are seeking to raise $50K this year!

It’s a lot of hockey, it’s high scoring and low risk hockey since most don’t wear full gear, and it is inclusive for beginner and intermediate hockey players. We had the first Winnipeg Jet, Norm Beaudin (WHA/NHL) play and he’ll be returning this year. We’re also working on some sweet prizes and incentives for players!

Interested? Send an email to battleforbloodcancer@gmail.com and we’ll get you set up for the tournament! It is $50 per player to register (your registration fee will be added to your fundraising and you will receive a tax receipt), $200 fundraising minimum per player or $1200 total per team of 5-6 players. Upon registering you will have a customizable fundraising page with a unique URL to share in your network to raise funds.
