GREETINGS AND A HAPPY 2026

Our 50th Annual Tournament is fast approaching. This year we once again have 40 teams in 6 divisions signed up. As is the case, every year, we have placed each team in what we feel is the proper spot for them using a system proven successful over the years.

Game scheduling was done as fair as possible with the teams farther away being given some consideration, as has been our policy.

Schedules for each division were emailed to all team reps. They are also posted on this website. If a team rep did not receive their team schedule, please contact the excutive so we can verify your email address and resend a copy. It is extremely helpful if you have the roster-waiver filled out in advance and not scrambling to get it filled out just before your first game.

When you arrive at the rink, please register at the front desk, where you will receive a package for your team with any updates and further information you may need. Westwood Arenas has 5 ice surfaces under one roof with a restaurant, snack bar, a complete sports shop with skate sharpening facilities at reasonable rates.

THERE IS TO BE NO BEER OR SMOKING IN DRESSING ROOMS. 

Each team will play 3 games, and then the final stats will be taken in each division. The top 4 teams in each division will go on to play Thursday.

Standings will be posted on website soffhl.com.

OVERTIME FORMAT: 3 0N 3 (NHL RULES) STOP TIME TILL A GOAL IS SCORED.

 

 

In the event of a tie in the standings, refer to the rules & regulations enclosed. We play under C.H.A. Rules, and these will be STRICTLY enforced.  We have a great body of referees who do an excellent job, so PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR TEAM, ALL OF YOUR PLAYERS AND COACHES ETC., ARE AWARE OF ALL THESE RULES, as well as other details pertaining to the tournament. Ignorance of the Rules will not be a valid excuse in the event of a problem situation. This letter should be READ, as well as the RULES very carefully and all players made aware of all details.

 

***NOTE*** A TOURNAMENT ROSTER WAIVER MUST BE FILLED OUT AND BROUGHT TO REGISTRATION DESK BEFORE PLAYING YOUR FIRST GAME.

 

Teams needing a lock will be required to leave a $10 deposit, which will be returned when the key & lock is returned.  We ask that you please vacate your dressing rooms AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

One more reminder that all participants, MUST BE FIREFIGHTERS, AND PLAY FOR ONE TEAM ONLY, (Full-time, Retired, Volunteer).  Don't risk forfeiting any games by using non firefighters or playing for more than one team. A piece of ID may be required if asked for.  Random checks will be done.

If you have any problems during the tournament, just look for an executive member, and they will be glad to help you.

I hope you all have a safe trip to Toronto, and we look forward to seeing you all on February 24th, 2026.

Note: All players and coaches are responsible for personal insurance required to play in the tournament.

Fraternally yours,

Rick Stillaway
