The Peterborough Liftlock U11 Hockey Tournament, formerly the Peterborough Liftlock Atom Hockey Tournament, is a hockey tournament for 9 to 11 year olds in Peterborough Ontario, Canada.[1]
History
[edit]The tournament was started in 1958 as a 1 day tournament with 8 teams, held in March annually.[2] The tournament ran in this way for the first 11 years with chairman Neil Clark.[1]
In the fall of 1969, Jack Guerin, Lloyd Hardy, Dan Dorsett and Howie Eastman approached the League Executive with a proposal to increase the size and length of the tournament from a 1 day, 8 team event, to a 2 day, 16 team event.[1] Since then the tournament has grown substantially, with 87 teams playing across 4 days in 2023 alone[3]
