“Build it and they will come!” The City of Toronto did just that for the 2010 Street Buds Tournament this past weekend April 10-11 as they constructed four temporary rinks in the Canadian National Exhibition park grounds at the Better Living Centre.

The Women’s Pre Season Tournament was another great weekend for the sport as eighteen teams competed for the championship at the ‘A’ and ‘B’ level of competition in Mississauga and perhaps a sneak preview for the Provincial Championships later this summer. 

Mr. Claudio Ciarallo was the sport of ball hockey in Brampton for many years in the men’s division and built the Brampton Minor Ball Hockey League to be one of the biggest and heralded programs in the province. 

They came and played, and PLAYED ON……the Downsview Park 3 on 3 Ball Hockey Tournament hosted one hundred and fourteen  teams on Saturday, January 30, 2010 as they constructed sixteen temporary rinks on the park grounds to facilitate the largest event to date in support of Shoot For A Cure.
