Find out why the Vernon Coca-Cola Classic Pee Wee Invitational Hockey Tournament is one of the best around, but don’t take our word for it…

“We won every tournament we entered that year, including the Vernon Winter Carnival tournament which, as a kid, you always wanted to play in that tournament, we also won the provincials that year. It was a great team with great guys that are friends to this day, great coaches and and great parent support.”

“Everything was exciting about that tournament. They made you feel like a star with the banquet and the parade. There was a team from Ontario so it was a pretty big deal.”

"In 2007, I remember one of Lazar’s goals in the final, a deflection in front, a big goal. I have nothing but good memories of that tournament and the banquet."

"My son Francis had the chance to play in your tournament last February as a member of the Richmond Hill Stars. I would like to congratulate your organization for their professionalism and their constant efforts to make the players and parents feel like they are part of a great Tournament. From the dedicated team rooms, the 3 stop time periods for every game, the official team presentation, the hospitality suite at the hotel, the proximity of Hotel to the rink, the format of the Tournament that makes every team play on Sunday and finally the fun and exciting Saturday night party, everything was done professionally and made everyone feel like they were part of something special. Finally, I also wanted to thank you as my day job is Vice-President of Operations for Coca-Cola Bottling Company and I was able to witness and experience excellent execution, visibility and support of Coca-Cola by your entire organization. Again thank you very much and I wish your tournament continuing success in the years to come. Sincerely,"

“First of all, on behalf of the entire Chilliwack Peewee A1 team, we would like to thank you and the Coca Cola Classic tournament committee for being such gracious hosts and for making the teams' time in Vernon a most memorable experience. This is a 'first class' tournament. It is also worth noting that our team host, Serge, was exceptional and formed a great bond with our players and staff alike. Thanks again,”

“We just wanted to say thank you for hosting such a well organized and fun tournament. Your volunteers were exceptionally friendly and hospitable. We wanted to especially acknowledge Ken, our host, for supporting us throughout the tournament. When our boys won the final game, they went over to where Ken was standing and they all gave him a hug. Ken was very emotional about it and even though it was a short period of time, they developed a special bond. They will have many memories from playing hockey in Vernon! Thanks again,”

Best of luck to you and future tournaments.”
