DEAR HOCKEY FRIENDS AND CLUB OWNERS: In 2013 GUSTO has been proud to take the development of Ice hockey in SA to a new level! With already 3 successful camps, and the 4th one coming up in August already, we’ve shown our commitment to help with the growth of new, current and seasonable players! And now, GUSTO’s latest addition to help with the development of Ice hockey in SA, we’re proud to announce our new initiative.. The GUSTO summer CUP!
WHY: We felt there’s a big need to have a championship for development players only. Players often wish to compete in tournaments, but there’s only so many games a year, and most development players are just not good enough to even make the team. Hockey championships are always limited to PHL and Provincial players, and that’s where we saw the gap.. let’s create something special for beginner players! Making them want to better themselves, and come back for more hockey!
HOW IT WILL WORK: We need the participation of all clubs to make this yearly event possible and a success! Each Club in SA must select, and submit a 2nd division team. All players are strictly development players only. No 1st division, or PHL players are allowed to participate in this championship.
CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT: Teams will be split into to pools played out in a round robin format. 1 and 2 place from each pool will qualify for the semi’s with winners going to a grand final where the Gusto Summer cup Champions 2013 will be crowned.
WHO CAN PLAY: This is strickly a cup for development players, so only 2nd Devision and new players are allowed to play. No PHL or 1st devision players are allowed to play.
VENUE: The Vaal Ice Arena Vereenegin
WHEN: 20 - 22 September 2013
ACCOMODATION & FOOD: More infromation about this will be availble on the GUSTO website once we’ve finalized how many players to cater for.
COST: The cost per team entry is R5000.00 a non-refundable 50% percent deposit is to be paid before the xx of July in order for us to secure the ice-time, food and accommodation. The difference must be paid on the day of the tournament.
BENEFITS: This is great to give your new players a change to feel what it’s like to compete in a real tournament! This will encourage players to work hard to reach bigger goals like the Interprovincials, or even the National squad! This is also a very good bonding time for the club and members!
INFO: More info will be available soon, and we will get it through to you as well. But please let us know if you’re willing top participate in making this an successful event!
