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.
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

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

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
