SASKFIRST TOURNAMENT PROGRAMS SaskFirst is the Saskatchewan Hockey Association s elite program for the top players in our province. We have 3 separate divisions within this program: Female (age 13 to 17); Male Bantam (age 14); and Male Midget (age 15 to 17). The SHA invites players from across Saskatchewan to attend zone camps, from which the top 20 players from each zone are chosen to form teams from each of the province s eight zones. We then hold a tournament each season for each division where the zone teams compete against each other. The Midget Tournament is being held on March 31 st April 3rd, 2016, the Female Tournament is April 7 th -10 th, 2016 and the Bantam Tournament is set for April 14 th -17 th, 2016, all of which will be held at Cooperators Centre in Regina. These tournaments are extremely popular. Not only do families and friends of players attend, but also hockey fans from across the province and league scouts come in for a weekend of intense hockey competition. This is an amazing opportunity for you to get your business name out to these attendees as well as the players by becoming an advertiser in the 8 ½ inch high x 5 ½ inch wide programs that are sold at these tournaments.
