The AHC & CE is an annual event that is dedicated to promoting hockey in the East Asian community. We are one of the world’s largest East Asian Hockey tournaments, and the event has been running for 21 years. In 2009 we had 31 men's teams, 4 women's teams, and 6 children's teams. The event included 600+ hockey players, 1200 fans, family and friends, and continues to grow bigger each year. The skill level of players ranges from Recreational to Competitive, and players travel from all over Canada, the US and even East Asia to join us each year. The hockey tournament includes children as young as 6 years old, to grandparents in their 60’s playing in a safe and fun environment.
