Tournament will be played at both Fort Ontario - Anthony J Crisafulli rink and SUNY Oswego Campus Center. Both rinks will be utilizing the USA Hockey ADM approved cross-ice board system donated by Oswego's own Erik Cole.
Brackets, rink locations, times and locker rooms are on Oswego Minor Hockey’s new web site under tournament tab www.OswegoHockey.com . There will be vendors, raffle baskets, food, and beverage choices available at the Fort Ontario - Anthony J Crisafulli rink.
In the spirit of the season OMHA has partnered with Food Bank of Central New York to donate a portion of proceeds to families in need.
