Sun Parlour Female Hockey Association Announces its annual winter tournament, the Windsor Wild Winter Female Hockey Tournament

The Sun Parlour Female Hockey Association (SPFHA) is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this season, and has announced the Windsor Wild Winter Female Hockey Tournament to be held from January 5th until January 7th at the WFCU Centre.

SPFHA will host nearly 40 house league and 7 travel teams from all over Ontario and Michigan for three days of hockey action.

“We are very excited to host this year’s tournament” said SPFHA’s Tournament Director, Katie Doe. “Our goal is to continue to foster a love for the game for female hockey players in our area. We have divisions ranging from U9 through U22.”

The Sun Parlour Female Hockey Association was established in 1993 as the first hockey program in the region solely devoted to female hockey. Today it is the largest female hockey association in the area with approximately 500 players. The SPFHA is a member of and governed by the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA), the largest female hockey body in the world.

Festivities kick off Friday, January 5th at 10 am with the first games. Round Robin games continue through Saturday evening when the Tournament hosts their annual Skills Competition (8:00 pm WFCU Bowl), similar to the NHL All Star Weekend. Each team will send a representative to take part in such skills as Fastest Skater, Shot Accuracy and others. Sunday Morning Quarter and Semi Final games commence, with Finals slated for early Sunday Afternoon.
