Congrats to our "3on3 Hockey International alumni" (he's also our son) LOGAN COUTURE for being selected in the 1st round 9th overall in the 2007 NHL entry draft by the San Jose Sharks. Logan played his minor hockey for many years with the Lucan 'DD' Irish, then played 'AAA' for the London Jr. Knights for a few years before joining the WOHL Jr. B St. Thomas Stars as a 15 year-old. Good luck in the future Logan, we are very proud of you!
Also congrats to our tournament alumni and family friend Drew Doughty who was the 2nd over-all 1st-round pick by Los Angeles Kings in the 2008 NHL entry draft. Best of luck to you Drew in your future endeavors!
Also congrats to our tournament alumni Andy McDonald of Strathroy Ont., star centre of the St. Louis Blues, and formerly of the Anaheim Ducks 2007 Stanley Cup champions! Andy is a terrific young man who represents his community very well.

NOTE: For comparison purposes, there was a competitor operating a 3on3 tournament In Fort Erie in May '07 who offered a 4-game guarantee for $500 per team, and those games were only 20 minutes in length. Another operator in Milton Ont. offered a 2007 March break tournament with a 3-game guarantee for $500 per team, and another in Edmonton offers a 6-game guarantee but only 15 minute length games, for $775 per team.
Play in the tournament events operated by '3on3 Hockey International' as we initiated youth 3 on 3 ice hockey tournaments in Ontario, now in our 11th straight year of continued growth in 2007. Many leagues throughout the province have been created from our original youth tournament concept hatched in 1997.
IMPORTANT: A reminder to all teams to be as accurate as possible when detailing the level of your players & birth years of same. On occasion we will mix birth years within the same divisions, as we are genuinely trying to create balanced divisions skill-wise. Your co-operation in providing accuracy about the skill-level of your team is vital and is very much appreciated. Nobody enjoys blow-out games at all. Let's strive for honest, good competition please!

Jalen DAY 1993-2005: The Couture family wish to convey our most sincere sympathies and condolences which go out to the family & friends of young Jalen Day of Watford who passed away in 2005. Parents David & Rhonda, brother Jordan and all their family members suffered a truly tragic loss with his passing.
Jalen was a 3on3 Hockey Int. alumni who we are extremely proud of knowing, and he had valiantly fought a personal battle to overcome cancer. Jalen was always smiling and had a tremendous demeanor and attitude, he never quit. He was a shining example of a great person for all of us. Jalen, you will be sorely missed and always remembered by many including all of us here at 3on3 Hockey International.
