Junior Hockey tourney set for Gymnasium this weekend
Over 100 junior hockey players are expected to descend on the National Gymnasium this weekend, today and tomorrow, (March 2nd & 3rd), when the Hikers Hockey Clubs hosts its third annual Junior Indoor Tournament. The event has become one of the most prestigious junior tournaments on the local hockey calendar, with its usual high standard of competition.
In addition to under-13, 16 and 21 age categories there will also be the Global Technology inter-schools competition. Defending champions St. Stanislaus College should face stiff competition from national champions Queens College as well as the likes of Christ Church, Marian Academy, St. John’s College and North Ruimveldt Multilateral.
Marian Academy are defending champions in the under-13 category and look strong favorites to retain their crown. The dominant GCC girls will also be favoured to retain their under-16 and 21 titles although the fast improving Hikers may have other thoughts. Old Fort and GCC look like the front runners to dethrone Hikers in the under-16 category, although they will be hard pressed to match skills with the vaunted Hikers under-21 boys, who have had a strangle hold on local junior tournaments over the past three years.
The action begins this morning at 10:00am with the under-13 category, which will be followed by the under-16 categories, while tomorrow the schools competition kick off proceedings from 9:00am followed by the under-21 categories.
