5 hockey games and a kegger in less than 24 hours – what more can you ask for in a hockey tournament? Engineering schools from across Ontario gathered in Guelph this past weekend for some hockey and Waterloo was there to show us proud! Matching up against teams from Western, uOttawa, McMaster, and Guelph; we had a strong showing and some great fans to cheer us on as well! Losing to uOttawa on Saturday night in the round robin and then getting to face off against them again on Sunday and win to advance to the playoffs was a huge highlight and big boost for the team! Waterloo placed 4th overall in the tournament. We had an impressive amount of participation that lead to a very talented team that could have easily taken the tournament with some more time practice  time. We had great goaltending, some solid men on the blue line and a skilled crew of forwards who were able to put some impressive pucks in their net! It was great to see some new faces out for the weekend – thanks to everyone who signed up to play.
If you are interested in playing in similar tournaments in the future, this is an annual event and we hope to have another great team out next year. Invites are sent over the mailing list so keep your eyes peeled for future opportunities!
