Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 2009-04-22, Page 33Goderich Signal -Star, Wednesday, April 22, 2009 - Page A33., Old Deckhands rule at Michigan tournament Six Canadian old-timer's hockey teams took home tro- phies during the 24th Annual Vehicle City International Oldtimers Hockey Tourna- ment in Flint during the week- end. It's one of the largest old- timer's tournaments in Michi- gan and the United States and this year's events featured 46 teams and 718 players. There were 27 teams from On- tario, including teams from Goderich, Sault Ste. Marie, Lambton-Kent, Lucknow, Brantford, Bothwell, Guelph, Kitchener, LaSalle, Windsor, Glencoe, London, Moore - town, Dorchester, Thames- ville, Amherstburg and Woodstock, said tournament founder and director Bill Ev- erett of Flushing, Mich. Players ranged in age from 35 to 97 and competed in games in multiple rinks in the Flint area on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (April 3-5). The Canadian teams won six of the 11 age -divisions and five teams from Ontario placed second in their divi- sion. The winning teams were Goderich Old Deckhands (35-40 age division); Can Am Antiques from Lambton- Kent (60 plus); Lucknow Old Devils (35-40); Sault Ste. Marie Marconi (50 plus); Sault Ste. Marie McDougal (45-50) Brantford Oldtimers (45 plus). Canadian teams finishing second in .their di- visions were the Dorchester Gators (35 plus); London Huff -n -Puff (50-55); London Classics (45-50), Kitchener - Guelph Tri -City Dinosaurs (45 plus); and Bothwell Old Puckers (50-55), Everett said. Everett said in past years the Canadian teams have won even more of the divisions than they did this year. "Looking at the past this year was probably the best representation for the Ameri- can teams in the champion- ships," Everett said. "We usually don't win that many. Maybe there is coming to be a little parity. Maybe we're getting stronger , teams from the U.S. But I think it changes from year to year. It's nice to see some of our local teams winning and it's nice to see the Canadian teams winning." The non-profit tournament in 2008 raised more than $2,000 for the Whaley Chil- dren's Center, a Flint area charity for area ,youth. The fi- nancial results for this year's tournament were still being tallied. "We are so happy to have this tournament in our area," said Gloria DeHart, vice president of sales for the Flint Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. "We especially love having our many visitors from Canada. They continue to come to this event year af- ter year so we must be doing something right."
