The team announced recently that Meyers Norris Penny will act as the title sponsor for the team’s 10th annual Alumni Golf Tournament, taking place the July 11-12 weekend at the Hillcrest Golf Club.
“We are very excited to be entering a new three-year partnership with MNP starting with the 2019 Alumni Golf Tournament,” said Warriors director of business operations Corey Nyhagen in a press release. “The corporate community continues to be incredible supporters of the tournament year after year, and it’s through their support and the support of our fans over the two-day event which allows us to raise these funds towards our player’s education.”
Over 100 players are expected to take part in the tournament, which annually raises close to $100,000 for the Warriors’ education fund, including $86,000 last year and just shy of $850,000 in its decade of existence.
“This event is one of the biggest in Moose Jaw and could be considered one of the biggest in the Western Hockey League,” said golf committee member Bill Jameson. “The tournament gives us an opportunity to give something back to these players because they’ve given a lot to entertain us over the years and helping the Warriors Education Fund will ensure that these young men can pursue their academic goals.”
The tournament opens Thursday, July 11 with registration and a social, followed by breakfast at the Hillcrest on Friday morning and tee-off at 9 a.m.
Among the alumni returning for the event include Theo Fleury, Brayden Point, Tanner Jeannot, Jayden Halbgewachs and Zach Sawchenko, along with many others joining current Warriors players, staff and local celebrities.
Entry for the tournament is $400 per golfer. For more information and to register contact Todd Hudson at (306) 631-0288, Rachel Sproule at rachel@mjwarriors.com, Pete Iatridis at pete@mjwarriors.com, or Corey Nyhagen at corey@mjwarriors.com.
