The 5th Annual Gracie Flowers Memorial Ice Hockey Tournament was held in Nain this past weekend.
William Flowers is the organizer for the tournament.
Our local Atom/Peewee, Female/Women, and Men’s division have been playing at the Husky Centre from Tuesday, March 22nd until Saturday, March 26th.
The puck dropped with team NGC vs. team Torngat to start the tournament on Tuesday with NGC taking the win.
On Wednesday, March 23rd, it was team Torngat against team NGC again, with another win for team NGC having the lead of 3 to nothing in a best four out of seven series, which makes Team NGC led by Jamal Kohlmeister winning the tournament.
The Female and Women was going to play against a team from Makkovik but later played with the Atom/Peewees boys.
Team Gracie, led by Peyton Dicker won the 5th annual tournament, having a lead of two straight games.
On March 25th in the Men’s Division, it was the Redcats vs. the Warriors, next, the Dicker team vs. the Redcats.
On Saturday, it was the Dicker Team vs. the Warriors, and after that game was the Warriors vs. the Redcats, leading on the Semi-finals where the second-place team went against the third-place team, having the last game being the championship game.
The Warriors are the champions in the men’s division this year, defeating the Dicker Team in the Championship game.
Congratulations to all the champions of the 5th Annual Gracie Flowers Memorial Tournament.
