Make your holiday season extra special at the Winnipeg Jets Challenge Cup
There’s nothing like a minor hockey tournament to bring a team together and there’s something extra in the air at a holiday tournament. With the break from school and families having time to spend together, holiday tournaments are a time to bond with team and family, make memories and celebrate the season and a shared love of the game.
In Winnipeg, the biggest and most exciting tournament of the season is going into it’s eighth year. The Challenge Cup is a standout event throughout the hockey season and a tradition for many players and families at hockey for all centre.
We’ve compiled a list of some of the top 10 reasons to participate in the 2018-19 Winnipeg Jets Challenge Cup this season:
- All games are played at hockey for all centre
Instead of driving all around the city to different rinks, all Challenge Cup games are located at the same great location. In addition to the added convenience, players can watch other teams from their divisions play or look up to older players in the higher divisions.
- Online stats

- Goodie bags
When teams arrive for their first game at hockey for all centre and experience the excitement, coaches will receive their team package with a goodie bag for each player. To end the tournament, all players will also receive a puck to commemorate playing in the 2018-19 tournament.
- Pancakes
Each day breakfast is served in the Press Box Restaurant. Sysco sponsors a pancake breakfast for all players in the 5/6 and Novice divisions and families can purchase pancakes and sausages each day for only $6 throughout the tournament.
