The Bud Light Olde Knights again take great pleasure in inviting your team to our
36th Annual Invitational Oldtimers Hockey Tournament to be held at the George R. Wallace Jr.
Civic Center in Fitchburg, MA from March 20, 2012 through March 25, 2012.
This is the Bud Light Olde Knights 36th year hosting the best and largest Oldtimers tournament
in the USA. We are limiting our teams to 52 this year. Each team is guaranteed a
minimum of three games, with a fourth game to the finalists. Gifts will be awarded to the
finalists in each division and after each championship game the winning team will celebrate
their victory with the traditional toast of champagne. Again, every member of every team that
participates in the Tournament will be given a Bud Light Hat for taking part in our Tournament.
A free round of beer or soda will be served to all players and coaches after each game.
The tourney entry fee will be $900 per team (US Dollars). A deposit of $450 must be
received no later than
Once your team has been accepted, you will be notified at which time you will need to complete
a roster so the Tournament Committee can place your team in the appropriate division.
As in the past, the Tournament is open to players 35 years of age or older. The over 60 division
will require only 60 year old and older players (exception= goalies can be 50 and over). Again,
we will have a total registration, whereas, each player is required to have an acceptable picture
ID, or two alternative forms of identification, if a picture ID is not available. NOTE: Teams
have been disqualified from our Tournament due to the playing of underage players. Everyone needs
to understand that this is indeed an Oldtimers hockey tournament. No one is expected to skate
against underage players. Due to previous abuse of this rule we will be doing ID checks on a
random basis.
Teams that are located within a 75-mile radius of the George R. Wallace Jr. Civic Center are
considered local teams and are expected to play their first game after 6:00 p.m. on either
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of the Tournament week. Away teams must be available
to play their first game by 8:00 AM on Friday, March 23, 2012. It is extremely important
that each team representative understands this commitment before the registration of his or
her team, as the Tournament Committee must and will stand by the Official Schedule.
The Bud Light Olde Knights Tournament Committee hopes to see your team in March for our 36th Annual
Tournament. Many events are being planned for the entire week. We try to get the schedule and
divisional layout done about 1 month before the tourney. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
