Tubber Hockey Tournament invades Nanaimo
NANAIMO — The annual Tubbers Hockey Tournament is the epitome of beer league hockey.
The 37th annual tournament got started Friday morning and continues until Sunday afternoon, featuring 350 players on 26 teams in five divisions.
Tournament organizer Tim Paugh, who was getting ready to referee a game Friday afternoon at Cliff McNabb Arena, said this tournament is circled on many calendars.
“There’s nothing better to hear when the teams come through the door that it’s their favourite tournament of the year…they’re looking forward to coming from all over the island and Lower Mainland.”
