- A lot of chatter has been happening over at the immortal View Askew WWWBoard regarding the upcoming “Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament” taking place in Brantford, Ontario on June 5th, 6th, and 7th. This all-ages charity event will feature teams battling it out by age bracket.
View Askew has put together their own team (“Puck U.”), featuring Kevin Smith (in goal), Jason Mewes (C), Bryan Johnson, Scott Mosier, Jen Schwalbach, Ming Chen, Jon Gordon, Jim Jackman, Malcolm Ingram, and Walt Flanagan. Talk about an all star View Askew team! Wow!They’ve also sponsored 2 teams of board members, the Monroeville Zombies and the Leonardo Reapers. A possibility for a third team exists as well, which you can follow on the official thread.
You can also learn more on the official event page for the tournament at View Askew.
The 3rd annual Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament will be hosted in Brantford from June 5 to 7, 2009 at the Ball Hockey International (BHI) venue located at the Steve Brown Sports Complex / Lions Park, 20 Edge Street. Learn more (or start your own team) at the official site for the event.
Watch a video of what last year’s event looked like. If you can make it up there in June for the beautiful Ontario weather, head on up and cheer our teams on!

Will Kevin & Co. be playing hockey on the other days (June 6th or 7th), or will they only be playing on June 5th?

Hey Kevin if you can’t last the whole tourney…I will volunteer to be your stand in. As you mentioned that you might need one when talking to the boys on the Edge in Toronto.
