The Rockyford Roughnecks Tier 3 and Tier 5 novice teams hosted a home tournament with teams from Duchess, Airdrie, Indus, Didsbury and Strathmore attending on the weekend.

The stands at the arena were full as parents and grandparents alike cheered on their kids. All the teams played very well, and while the two novice teams from Rockyford didn’t win the tournament, they did manage a win or two in their respective pools. 

The finals for Tier 3 had Didsbury and Duchess playing off, with Duchess taking the win 4-3. The Tier 5 final involved the two Airdrie teams with the Airdrie Vipers taking the win. Tournament organizer Glenda Wheeler said “I am pleased with the support of everyone involved from the kids to the parents and especially the coaches who have dedicated their time and expertise to the kids and the game.”

All the kids who participated received a trophy and welcome bag and the winning teams took home the tournament banners. The tournament was deemed a success by players, coaches, and parents alike!
