m nt, his daugh-
.r Robyn Car-
iochan says her
'dad would have
been honoured
to know about
the tournament.
"He would have
been thrilled.
It's so nice to
see his name
when you walk
into the arena,"
she said Satur-
day morning at
the tournament
which returned after a four-year
absence.
Bill Carnochan, who died in
1999, had a tournament organized
in his name in January of 2000 by
family friends Judy Jansen and
Marian Van Dooren. When their
kids grew up, the tournament
lapsed for a while but Seaforth
minor hockey decided to hold it
again this year.
Carnochan had been active in
Seaforth minor hockey as a coach,
manager and trainer.
"He loved to watch his kids,
his nieces and his nephews play
hockey. And, he loved ringette
too," said Robyn.
While none of his relatives were
playing Saturday when nine
teams - three local league and six
representative teams - competed
from Seaforth, BCH, Goderich,
South Huron, Lambton Shores
and Hanover, Robyn said it's only
a matter of time before grand-
children are old enough to be in-
volved.
The Carnochan family were also
on hand to present the trophies to
the winners. Seaforth's LL team
won the tournament's LL division
1-0 against BCH and BCH's rep
team won the rep division of the
tournament 4-3 against Lambton
Shores.
