PDAC 2010 Tournament Package

 The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) and Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. (CCIC) are pleased to announce the THIRD ANNUAL PDAC-Caracle Cup Hockey Tournament to take place on Saturday, March 6 from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm at the Canlan Ice Sports – York, North York (York University), Ontario.

The tournament will consist of twelve (12) teams, comprised of up to 13 skaters and 2 goalies (total 15 players) per team, playing in a modified round-robin format (2 games guaranteed) that will culminate in championship and consolation games. The winners of the championship will have their team and players’ names forever enshrined on the prestigious Caracle Cup trophy. A reception and awards ceremony, including food and beverage, will follow the championship games from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.

Players from all aspects of the industry (government, industry, government, finance, legal, academia, etc.) and all skill levels are invited to organize an industry sponsored team. Each team will receive jerseys and hockey socks with player’s name, number and team sponsor logo as part of the entry fee; additional jerseys can be purchased. The games will have officials and play will be continuous time (~40 minutes per game) with no contact and no slap shots. We encourage teams to recruit players that have a connection to the mineral exploration and/or mining industries. Participants must be 18 years of age or older.

Complimentary food and beverage will be provided throughout the day and all games will be played on NHL-size ice sheets.

Complimentary transportation will be provided via a shuttle bus operating running all day between the Fairmont Royal York Hotel (Front Street, Toronto) and Canlan Ice Sports – York.

Entry forms and payment will be accepted starting December 15, 2009 and teams will be granted entry into the tournament on a first come, first-served basis.
