Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association
FEMALE MIDGET SCHOLARSHIP TOURNAMENT
HISTORY

The PCAHA Female Midget Scholarship Tournament was conceived by Sue Dix-Cooper, PCAHA Female Hockey Scheduler/Statistician, during the 1999-2000 season. The event was modelled on the existing PCAHA Scholarship Tournaments with the objectives of (i) showcasing the talents of graduating players (17 year olds) participating in the PCAHA Female Midget division, (ii) promoting the participation of Female Midget players in the PCAHA Scholarship Program, and (iii) generally promoting the growth and development of Female Hockey.

A steering committee was formed coordinated by Sue Dix-Cooper and consisting of Audrey Truth (President, Richmond Girls IHA and Female Hockey Committee Secretary), Sarah Ryall (South Delta MHA Female Hockey Rep), Gordon Milne (PCAHA Managing Director, Female Hockey), Barry Jones (PCAHA Special Events Committee Chairperson), and Andrew Mustard (PCAHA Assistant Executive Director). The inaugural Tournament was held March 10-16, 2000, with games hosted by Meadow Ridge Female MHA, Richmond Girls IHA, South Delta MHA, and Surrey Female HA.

The Tournament’s format has remained unchanged since its inception. Three teams are selected from among graduating Midget players (17 year olds as of December 31st of the current season) registered on Midget “A” or “C” teams in the PCAHA Female Midget division. The teams play a single round-robin with the top two teams meeting in a championship game. Tournament champion teams over the years have been as follows:

2000 - PCAHA Blue Team 2001 - PCAHA Red Team 2002 - PCAHA Black Team 2003 - PCAHA Red Team 2004 - PCAHA White Team 2005 - PCAHA Red Team

2006 - PCAHA Red Team 2007 - PCAHA White Team 2008 - PCAHA White Team 2009 - PCAHA White Team 2010 - PCAHA Red Team 2011 - PCAHA Red Team 2012 - PCAHA Red Team

The 14th annual Tournament will be held from March 11-14, 2013.
