I just got an e-mail from Gary Johnston asking about the Classic Tourney, well its not good. It is with much regret I am sending this, but we will NOT be having a tournament this year. I had some interest (very little) from teams, this has been dwindling for years, and like most other years NO interest within the Department. It was difficult, but the financial end of things played a big part in the decision, along with the lack of teams. They have also basically told me to focus on Facility Mgmt. here at the rink, and nobody else really wanted to take the tourney on. Lots of different reason or excuses, just a sad state of affairs I guess with not having this after so many years.
