Moments like this are what the Charlie Campbell Memorial Tournament is all about. 

Yesterday we were honoured to kick off the Annual Charlie Campbell Memorial Tournament with our opening ceremonies, celebrating Charlie’s memory with his family present and a rink full of people who continue to support this special event year after year.

Today gave us another reminder of just how meaningful this tournament truly is.

Meet Lainey Leblanc, playing for the Cheticamp U9 team. During today’s game here in Glace Bay, Lainey scored her very first goal of the season, and what better place for it to happen than at the Charlie Campbell Tournament! 

To help celebrate the moment, she was presented with a Glace Bay Miners puck by GBMHA President James Edwards to commemorate her big milestone. A memory she’ll never forget. 

Congratulations Lainey from all of your friends at GBMHA! 

This tournament continues to bring our hockey community together through special memories, first goals, big smiles, and the spirit of the game all while honouring Charlie’s legacy. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported the tournament so far. Keep the energy going and come down today to share in the memories and moments together.
