The success of something can easily be measured if it can withstand the test of time.
The Tony Roman Memorial Tournament certainly falls into that category.
Especially since this year’s annual event, to begin Saturday, will mark its 40th anniversary,
Named in memory of the former mayor of Markham, the tournament was created to give house league hockey players an opportunity to compete in a tournament format setting they might not otherwise experience.
That was a vision Roman had in making this event a reality.
As in each of the past tournaments, this year’s on-ice action will take place at eight arenas in Markham and Thornhill.
Close to 230 games are scheduled to be held and will feature more than 2,000 players, ranging from mini mite (age four) to juveniles (age 20) representing the Markham Minor Hockey Association, Unionville Minor Hockey Association and Thornhill Minor Hockey Association.
The opening ceremonies are to take place at the Markham Civic Centre’s outdoor rink (101 Town Centre Blvd.) at 11 a.m.
In addition to those festivities, the tournament will incorporate free family activities, including wagon rides, puck shooting, crafts and public skating.
Admission to the tournament games is free.
The championship finals for each of the divisions are to be played Feb. 3.
