We’re still on the hunt for more teams and players for the ball hockey tournament on September 10th, 2011 at Kingsland Community Centre in support of KidSport Calgary and Scouts Canada Chinook Council.

Beginner? No problem!  We have two groups!

We’ve had a lot of questions about the skill level and we’re putting this out there for everyone: this isn’t a competitive event it is simply a fun day for people to get together and enjoy a great game of ball hockey.

If you’ve never played ball hockey before, well we have a team for you.  We have two divisions of teams playing which includes a Group A for beginners/intermediate and then our more seasoned players will take part of our second Group B.  The goal of the event is to have fun and enjoy yourselves as such this isn’t an overly competitive tournament but more so about bringing out the spirit of giving within all of our participants and sponsors.

Sign up today!

Shoot me an email directly to derek@ballhockeytournament.com and we can get you set up with a team or if you want to bring a group out let me know as well.

When Derek of Eligeo IT asked if we wanted to get involved in their annual ball hockey tournament, it was simply a no-brainer for us to sponsor a team.  First of all – at Elevated HR Solutions, we’ve made it our mandate to participate with as many charities and community initiatives as we can.  Second – Eligeo IT is a fantastic referral partner and friend.  We are happy to partner with amazing people in this city who actually know how to make things happen. Third – KidSport has been near and dear to us since 2007.  It takes everything we stand for: Volunteerism, Community Development, Giving Back, Sport, Competitiveness and of course Fun and puts it all together in one great weekend!
