- 24 Hours Toronto runs a fantastic shot of Kevin with idol Walter Gretzky from yesterday’s Toronto event, where they officially announced the 2010 Walter Gretzky invitational street hockey tournament. The guys kept it simple and got right down to business (after a few nice gifts bestowed upon Kevin via Walter). Registrations for the 4th year of the tourney have now kicked off. The enrollment fee goes to a fantastic cause, and trust me when I say, this is BARGAIN PRICE for a weekend of fun, hockey, friends, and charity. The big announcement, as some of you may have already expected, is that Kevin is trying to get the record of 192 teams and unseat Vancouver as the current holder of that number. So, let’s gear up and get our butts to Canada, and play some hockey.
Kevin’s going to continue to do some press promoting the tournament, as well as doing what he can to help get teams together. He’s sponsoring SEVEN TEAMS this year including his own, and an all girl team called the “View Askew Girls” (“VAG for short”, he quips).If you weren’t there in person yesterday, we’ve got some good news for ya. The press conference is available via YouTube for your viewing pleasure.
We’re still searching for Part 3, which we assume is on the way. Stay tuned, we’ll add in on to this story as soon as it’s available. And of course, continue to promote and cover this major event in the coming months. If you’re interested in attending, but not sure you can get a full team together, stick around, as we’ll be doing what we can to help folks find each other and make their way to Brantford.
For more on the press conference, the Brantford News has an article and photo gallery.
