The ninth annual Garden Valley Zodiacs Alumni hockey tournament was held this past weekend with the 2007-09 team capturing it's third straight championship. There was about 90-95 alumni hockey players taking part in the weekends games.

"It was another fun alumni hockey tournament. It's probably the ninth one. It's good to see the guys come together and there's a lot of fun happening on the ice," said tournament organizer Brendan Neufeld.

The tournament featured teams from 1997-99, 2000-03, 2004-06, 2007-09, 2010-11, 2013-16, and the current Zodiacs' team.

"The guys are always begging. They are trying to mark their calendars early in the year. They look forward to it. There's so much excitement and interest, why not do it," said Neufeld. "My crew from the '98 era we had guys come in from Saskatchewan, Alberta, and B.C. today for the tournament. There's so many friendships that were formed over the high school years and it's neat for guys to come out and hang out."
