Annual Carlo Paolinelli Memorial Tourney takes to the ice this weekend at Civic Centre

Recreational Hockey players from across the Northwest are making Prince Rupert their destination this weekend as the Prince Rupert Old Timers Hockey League prepares to host the annual Carlo Paolinelli  Memorial Tournament from Friday to Sunday at the Civic Centre.

Fourteen Teams have submitted their entry forms for the weekend of hockey on the North Coast, with squads arriving in town from Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat and Haida Gwaii to join in with local Old Timer and Women's teams from Prince Rupert in the three day tourney.

The popular event is one that features some hard played hockey, mixed with the camaraderie of the play on the ice (as well as off of it) that celebrates the memory of the popular Rupert hockey player who was a long time fixture as part of the city's recreational hockey scene.

From 4 PM on Friday until 5PM Sunday those that drop into the Civic Centre can check up on the progress on the ice as the teams work their way through a jam packed list of games.
