They're looking for people to join an advisory committee to determine the format of the proposed tournament, as well as when and where to stage the inaugural event
There could be a new national hockey tournament for Indigenous players starting as early as next year.
“We’ve had this idea for about two years now,” Friday said. “There is a small gap there for age groups between the two national tournaments. We thought we’d create an event to fill that gap.” Committee members would help determine the format of the proposed tournament, as well as when and where to stage their inaugural event.Those looking to join the advisory committee must send a letter of interest and CV to [email protected] by May 31. Those seeking to be a part of the committee must be Indigenous.
Those that take part in the NAHC represent provincial, territorial or regional squads. While the women’s division is open at the Fred Sasakamoose event, those in the men’s category are primarily representing their own First Nation or community.He said the event will include both female and male divisions. He’s hoping to attract eight clubs in each grouping.
