Nutrien WinterShines 3x3 Shinny Tournament

Nutrien WinterSines is hosting a 3x3 co-ed shinny tournament on Saturday, February 1st. The tournament will take place on Avenue B, from 12-4. Each team will need at least one person of each gender on at a time. The fee per person will be $10. THIS IS A NON-CONTACT TOURNAMENT.

In between games you can warm up and grab a beer (from 9mile brewery) inside the Market Building in Riversdale (19+).

Important points to remember:

• Tournament takes place on Saturday, February 1, 2020 from 12pm – 4 pm

• Each team must have three players on at a time; at least one male and one female.

• There are no goaltenders (a player can occupy the position but cannot wear any goalie equipment or use a goalie stick)

• Violations (hockey penalties + shinny rules) will result in a loss of possession with the receiving team taking possession in their own zone. The penalized team will grant them opportunity to exit their zone by not crossing centre ice.

• There will be NO face-off after a goal is scored. The team that was scored upon can rush the ball out of their own zone. The team that scored the goal must give their opponent half ice by remaining on their side of centre ice.

• Each team will play a minimum of two games.

• Teams are encouraged to bring their own matching jerseys

• Offside - No passes can be made to players who are behind the defense before the pass is made. This is to prevent cherry picking

• Players are allowed to wear any necessary shinny equipment (helmets, elbow/shin pads, sticks). Note that the rink is not ice, so no skates are needed.

Tournament Format:

• The final format of the tournament will not be decided until the day of. All teams should meet at the Market Building in Riversdale at 12PM

• The length of games will be around 10-15 minutes with a five minute warm up before hand.
