How can I play?
See registration details on the Registration Form.  The registration deadline is April 17, 2010.  Enrolment may be limited, and there is an early-bird prize, so register early (register by April 3, 2010 to qualify for the early-bird draw).  Teams will be contacted with schedule information one week prior to the tournament through their Team Email Address, as filled out on their Registration Form.

What is the cost?
Entry fee is $80.00 per team ($20 per player).  This entry fee covers tournament enrolment, a Ray Scapinello Road Hockey Tournament T-Shirt, Lunch, and grab bag goodies (to be determined).  All teams are guaranteed two games.

How do I get a copy of the Registration Form?
The link is provided in the Registration menu above (or click here: Registration Form), but a copy of Adobe Reader is required to access the form.  Follow this link to download the reader:  Get Adobe Reader.

I'm still having trouble printing or saving the Registration Form - can you help?
Be sure to use the Print and Save icons that are in the Adobe Reader window (immediately above the form), and not the Print and Save icons that are on the Web Browser toolbar.  You can also save the form by right-clicking on the  Registration Form button and selecting the "Save target as..." option.

Are Goalies permitted to wear goalie equipment other than leg pads?
Goalies are permitted to wear other goalie equipment such as goalie gloves, chest protectors, and CSA-approved goalie masks.  Goalie leg pads are not permitted, as this can reduce the number of goals (games are 25 minutes) and can be unfair when a team with pads plays a team without pads.  Goalies may wear shin pads for leg protection.  Goalie masks must be CSA-approved (not street-hockey masks), otherwise the goalie should wear a normal CSA-approved helmet with a full shield.  A goalie must wear some form of hand protection - if not goalie gloves, then hockey gloves.

How do I know if there is still room for enrolment?
We will post a message on the homepage of this site if enrolment has filled up.  We have not decided on the enrolment limit for 2010, but we know that we can accommodate at least 135 teams.  So far we have not turned any teams away from our tournament, but it is growing in popularity each year, so please register early to ensure a spot and to help us plan.

What percentage of my enrolment fee goes towards the cause?
Through volunteerism and sponsorship, we are planning to have an amount in excess of 100% of the enrolment fees directed towards benefiting youth in the Guelph area (we did achieve this goal in all past years - donated services, goods and dollars more than offset our operating expenses).  The benefits from the tournament primarily take the form of educational bursaries that are awarded to deserving youth in the Guelph area through the Guelph Community Foundation in cooperation with our local schools.  We also support youth programs in Guelph that benefit at-risk youth.  Visit our Mission Statement page to learn more about past community support.
