Carlos Gomez said all the precedes from the tournament goes directly to the Scotty Gomez Foundation which gives back to the hockey community and helps make hockey affordable for the younger kids. Sixty-one teams of six played 4 on 4 hockey in two 15-minute halves. This is hockey country up here, Gomez said, But we need the weather to cooperate. The tournament was nearly canceled because warm weather created poor ice conditions.
