We have attended a lot of hockey tournaments over the past 6 years, but none come even close to the North American Classic.
Thanks again and I'm sure we'll run into each other in the rink again somewhere down the road.

You claimed a first class tournament and you backed it up. The people
that made the trip claimed this was first class.
We would like to make this an annual event. We will load all the pieces
for next years tourney. This year I told you we could compete, however,
not enough horses to win. Next year we go for the win.
Please advise the date when determined, and we are in. No discounts or
special treatment (we pay the full amount).
Thanks,

Just a short note to Thank You for a great
weekend. You run a great Tournament and I know our kids and families had
a great time. We really appreciate you allowing us to enter your
Tournament, and we hope to defend our Title next year. Thanks from the
94 Mid Canada Allstars.
Sincerely,
Rick Higgins
I wanted to express my personal and our team's
thanks to the people involved in hosting the tournament. Our players and
parents had a great time. The fleece jackets for players and coaches,
the pizza party for the teams was fantastic. The competition in the 1996
division was great.
You hit the nail right on the head when you said "The tournament is for
the kids and all the money goes back to the kids". Even though the
weather has hit 27°C I can tell you each one of the players will be
wearing their fleece jackets to school today.
Our parent are already asking to come back to this tournament in 2006.
This was our last tournament and was an excellent tournament to end the
season with.
Once again to you and the tournament committee thank you for letting us
take part and the tournament was just excellent!!

You did a fantastic job in organizing this NAPA Tournament, it was all for the kids and each one enjoyed it. Not once since this one have I seen so much given to the kids for entering a tournament. Great job.

We just wanted to let the tournament organizers know what a first class tournament we thought it was. The jackets were an awesome touch and our team finished second and received the watches which they were thrilled with. Definitely something they will get use out of. The final game with lights and sound effects was an awesome touch for young hockey players!! Best tournament yet. Thanks again.

BIG PIECE OF RAISIN PIE for you and your family on the diligent effort you folks put forward for NAPA 2004. The games went on without a hitch, the refereeing was excellent, time keepers flawless, program was second to none, and the pizza/band/speakers on Friday were tasty/different and very informative. The prizes were absolutely amazing and you hit the nail right on the head when you said to me, "The tournament is for the kids and all the money goes back to the kids"
I am sure you will get a very positive response from NAPA as we were in the St. Vital Mall on Sunday and the mall was full of people wearing the pullovers. I over heard other hockey parents from different provinces saying how well organized the tournament was compared to tournaments they went to in Wisconsin and Calgary and they are hoping to be invited back to NAPA next year.
Well in closing YOU BUILT IT AND THEY CAME.....I thank you, my best girl Lori-Ann thanks you and Monty thanks you.
Please pass on the well deserved at-a-boys to your volunteers.
Your friend,
Kendall
Thanks for the great weekend, your tournament is certainly first class!

During the 2ND Annual North American AAA Hockey Classic held in Wpg, MB (JUNE 17 - 20, 2004), it was noticed that between whistles/plays the scorekeepers would play "filler" music to enhance the experience of the game and motivate the teams and crowd - excellent idea!
My inquiry is, how can one obtain the "song list" used, as I would like to pursue obtaining these songs for personal use?
Greatly appreciated - Thank you!
Avid hockey fan,
Jeff
**PS: Tournament was just excellent!!!! A+++ participation from all!
Thank you so much for the enjoyable weekend in Winnipeg. Our athletes and parents had a wonderful time. The team learned a lot skating against your Canadian teams.
Thank you again for a well organized tournament.

We were there last year, and it was the best we have ever seen. Pizza party for the teams, fleece jackets for players and coaches. The competition was the best we have ever had, comparable to last years Toronto tourney when we played the Toronto Marlboros, great teams. Detroit Compuware, USA Mission (East Coast Kids), Team Brick, Saskatchewan, Calgary, and more, it was great.

My name is Brant Carroll, I'm the team manager for the 1994 Ice Jet team that participated in your tournament earlier this month. I wanted to express my personal and our team's thanks to the people involved in hosting the tournament. In addition to the hockey, our boys and families enjoyed the trip to Winnipeg and the Canadian hospitality provided by all. I also wanted to thank you for arranging the friendly game on the day of our arrival. The boys' appetite for hockey never ceases to amaze me; seven 20 minute stop period games in
five days and they wanted more. Again, thank you for inviting us. We had a wonderful experience in Winnipeg and look forward to visiting again.
