The 31st Anniversary of the Vince Ryan Memorial Hockey Tournament will be held March 17th through 20th, 2022. This tournament is one of the largest recreational adult hockey tournaments in the world. Every year, teams from across Canada and the United States gather, bringing thousands of players to rinks across the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) in Nova Scotia.
Proactively seeing the need for the development of female hockey programs in Nova Scotia, the tournament organizers launched what has become a successful female division for women 19 and over in 1999.
